Summary

Dedicated Teacher's Aid at Meadowlake Day School, adept in child development and classroom organization, significantly enhanced student engagement through innovative group activities and individualized support. Excelled in collaboration with educators, fostering a nurturing learning environment and preparing children for kindergarten success. Demonstrated exceptional patience, empathy, and a positive attitude in managing diverse student needs.


Also a passionate student at University of Central Arkansas where my skills in the classroom have helped shape how I interact with children. Handling large workloads and demanding goals has become my normal over the past three years, and I have fallen in love with the process as I am enthusiastic about my school and my work. I've become excellent at time management and multitasking within my school and work. My goal is to one day mesh these two important aspects of my life into one by becoming a therapist whom provides trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy to children and adolescents.
