Summary

Education Studies graduate with a strong passion for working with youth in school and team-based environments. I bring hands-on experience in childcare, coaching, and student support, where I have focused on building positive relationships and creating structured, supportive spaces that promote student growth. My background includes working in after-school programs, childcare centers, summer camps, and middle school athletics, allowing me to develop strong skills in communication, leadership, and group management.

Through my experiences, I have learned how to support students’ social, emotional, and behavioral development while encouraging teamwork, accountability, and confidence. I am especially interested in roles within schools where I can support student behavior, contribute to a positive school culture, and help students succeed both inside and outside the classroom.

In addition, I bring strong adaptability and problem-solving skills from working in fast-paced environments, along with bilingual abilities in English and Spanish. I hold CPR/AED and First Aid certification and have completed coaching certifications through the National Federation of State High School Associations, including Fundamentals of Coaching, Concussion in Sports, and Heat Illness Prevention. I am committed to continuing to grow professionally while making a meaningful impact on the students and communities I serve.
