Hello, I’m Elizabeth Sajami.

I have a background in Psychology, with studies completed in Peru and experience in various areas of the field. I’ve been living in the United States for eight years, which has allowed me to embrace new cultures and expand my professional perspective. I speak Spanish, English, and Portuguese, and I deeply value cultural and human diversity.

I’m the proud mother of two wonderful children who inspire me every day to keep growing both personally and professionally. I truly enjoy working at True Love, as it gives me a unique opportunity to apply my knowledge, continue learning, and connect with amazing people.

I sincerely thank the staff, clients, volunteers, and parents for giving me the chance to be part of something so meaningful.

DSP (Direct Support Professional)

I used to be a professional woman. After getting married, I moved to the United States and opened my own restaurant. When my child was 8 months old, she was diagnosed with epilepsy caused by a genetic mutation. At that time, my husband was not around, so I had to search for treatment on my own. Eventually, when she was five and a half, her health became just like any other healthy child. During those five and a half years, I never had a full night’s sleep and kept a detailed record of her progress every day.

In 2018, I returned to the U.S. from China and started caring for my child full-time. Through that experience, I came into contact with people with special needs. I understand that caring for them requires more time and patience than usual, and I’ve gained professional knowledge in areas like first aid and nursing. Therefore, I have a strong desire to help more families so their children can receive the best possible care.

Hi there! My name is Cyia! I’m so excited to be a part of the True Love Family! I am originally from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, moved to Nashville, Tennessee and now in Georgia (luckily)! I have been a nurse for twelve years now and I specialize in ABA Therapy and Behavioral Therapy! I have such a passion for (what I call “Angels”) and how to make them the best versions of themselves! This is an exciting adventure and I just know, we as a team, are going to do amazing things!

DSP Lead

I am reaching out to provide you with an overview of my extensive experience working with individuals with various disabilities and mental health issues for over a decade. Having dedicated more than 10 years to supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities, challenging behaviors, nonverbal communication needs, dementia, and those with mobility constraints, I have acquired a wealth of knowledge and skills in this field. Recently, I made a relocation from Las Vegas to Stone Mountain, and in my previous role as a Program Director, I managed and supervised four homes catering to individuals with disabilities and mental health challenges, overseeing their daily care and well-being. In addition to my responsibilities as a Program Director, I also actively participated in supporting our Day Program, where I played a critical role in coordinating activities and providing a nurturing environment for the individuals under our care. It has been immensely fulfilling to contribute to the growth and quality of life of these individuals, ensuring that they receive the essential support they need to thrive. My passion for making a positive impact in the lives of individuals with disabilities stems from a deep-rooted belief in the importance of empathy, care, and advocacy. I find great satisfaction in being able to demonstrate to these individuals that they are valued, supported, and cared for by dedicated professionals who are committed to their well-being.
