Summary

I am an enthusiastic and dedicated individual with experience working as a Kindergarten Paraprofessional, where I supported young children in their learning and development. My background includes helping create and organize engaging activities, managing classroom behavior, and providing emotional and academic support to students. Through this experience, I’ve developed strong communication, problem-solving, and teamwork skills, all of which I’m eager to apply in a summer camp setting. I’m passionate about fostering positive, supportive environments for children, and I’m excited to bring my creativity, patience, and organizational skills to a summer camp role.
