About Lisa Bastedo

My work experience of 23 years ranging from the medical field and a personal injury consultant to special needs and education is valuable in so many ways. The amount of hands on experience I have to offer is an asset to any environment. In addition to my extensive background and eagerness to continue to learn, I have much more to offer: I have learned to use my personal, as well as my professional experiences to relate to people. My ability of finding ways to understand people better makes me superlative when helping them through their illness, disabilities and needs. I am cognizant and have appreciation for special needs and the strain it relays to families as well as the strain it can put on education and daily life, my compassion well surpasses that of most people. Having been the mother of a special needs child myself I can relate to how I would want to be treated and make that my standard of quality care. I thrive for new educational experiences and for the opportunity to help others. My ability to multitask is extraordinary and incomparable in any work environment. I am excited for the opportunity to share my experiences and knowledge with you.
