Summary
I am currently a junior at Alabama State University, pursuing a degree in Social Work. My ambition is to advocate for and enhance the well-being of children and families on a global scale. Over the years, I have gained valuable experience through volunteering and tutoring in elementary schools, as well as working in after-school programs. I also volunteer in the nursery at Fresh Anointing House of Worship, where I engage with children aged 3 to 5.
I am a results-oriented individual with a strong background in customer service and child supervision. My skills in effective communication and inventory management equip me to contribute to operational efficiency and foster engaging environments. I am committed to continuing my volunteer efforts and gaining further experience to support my journey toward creating positive change for children and families everywhere.
