Summary
Student at Tennessee Tech anticipating graduation in May 2024. Following graduation, I plan to pursue a career as a child life specialist in the hospital setting. I have a wide range of skills acquired over the years working in various environments and in various countries, giving me the opportunity to improve my cultural competence and to gain experience in making clients/customers feel seen and understood. I have a passion for children and families and enjoy a position where I can think on my feet, problem-solve, and implement organizational strategies.
