Summary

With experience in animal care, education, and retail, I have developed a diverse skill set that combines hands-on expertise with customer engagement and teaching. As a Bird Specialist at San Antonio Aquarium, I provided care for exotic birds, performed educational bird shows, and managed aviaries. My background in art education includes teaching elementary and middle school students, both in-person and remotely, where I tailored lessons to different age groups and skill levels. Additionally, my retail experience involved managing merchandise, operating storefronts, and handling sales transactions. My ability to adapt across various roles highlights my strong communication, organizational, and leadership skills.
