A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Iyana. I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I support children by helping them develop communication, social, and daily living skills.

I’ve always enjoyed working with and caring for children, and I love creating positive, engaging experiences that help them learn and grow. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, chunky hand knitting, arts & crafts, and taking walks in local parks. I am dependable, nurturing, and energetic, and I look forward to building meaningful connections with the families I work with.
