Summary

I have professional teacher experience in both secondary and elementary schools in the social science academic area. I have proactive case worker skills with a long history of working for nonprofit organizations and working at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. I am capable of communicating needs or rights and enlisting the help of people from different backgrounds in interpersonal interactions. I'm reliable, motivated, and excellent at setting priorities and managing my time. I'm looking for a job as a civic leader where I may have a challenging career and be growth-oriented where I can contribute my knowledge and abilities to an organization and advance via teamwork and ongoing learning.
