BELLA TOUCHTON

Dynamic and adaptable professional with a proven track record at Richmond Neighborhood Center, where I fostered creativity and expression in young children. Skilled in effective time management and communication, I excel in fast-paced environments, ensuring safety and engagement while building strong relationships with families and children.

Committed caregiver with strengths in educational planning and childhood guidance. Collaborated with teachers and administrators to improve student understanding of material and provide better teaching methods. Provided students with a fun, and engaging environment that kept them excited to be there.

While attending SFSU, I was in Phi Sigma Sigma, A sorority that practices philanthropy and volunteers at a nearby elementary school. I gained such important networking skills and made so many new people. It really helped me come out of my shell and value myself. I also appreciated that there was philanthropy that fell into what I love to do, help children. I enjoyed fundraising knowing that I had passion about what I was doing.

1st & 2nd Grade Volunteer, Fir Grove Elementary School, 02/01/23, 06/30/23, Beaverton, OR, Last Semester of Senior Year I had the amazing opportunity to volunteer at my old Elementary School. I was placed in 1st and 2nd grade and would divide my time between the two. It was really great and made me second guess what I wanted to do in the future. I would help during reading and writing time. Some days I would just help generally and others I would get placed with a specific kid who maybe needed more help.

I was awarded this during this past school year from my job at Club K(2025-2026) . I had recently taken on a notoriously difficult school site with children who were tired of being in an afterschool environment. It was also my first experience ever being the program leader/upper management. Although it was difficult I had really enjoyed getting to know the kids, making them feel excited to be there, and building my own management and leadership skills. Getting this award from my employer made me feel so valued and seen. My supervisor and various parents from the school had written comments that showed how they appreciated me, which meant so much.
