Hello my name is Alesandra Lizárraga Pantoja but go by Ale and am currently 23 years old. I am a graduate from the University of California, Berkeley with a B.S in Psychology. One day, I hope to become a psychotherapist to create positive and everlasting changes in the lives of others. I have been working with an ABA company, Therapeutic Learning Consultants, for about 8 months, where I’ve gained valuable experience working with children ages 4 and up. I am looking for a side job in order to become more financially stable and would like to attain a job where I can successfully gain more experience working with kids. I am a pretty flexible person so I am willing to move around my schedule to fit requested hours.
