Summary
I am currently working towards a B.S Early Childhood and Special Education degree. I truly enjoy working and being around people, kids and dogs. The experience as a hostess has offered a great skill set which includes effective communication, problem solving, empathy and teamwork. I can easily multi-task and create a dynamic, fun atmosphere for the kids I babysit and furry friends.
These experiences have provided a solid base for a true passion of mine which is to work with special education students. The joy and satisfaction to see these students thrive and reach their full potential is exciting!
