Summary
With over 17 years of experience in the educational field, I have served as a program director, preschool teacher/site supervisor, parent educator, trainer, and payroll processor. Throughout my career, I have successfully managed daily administrative tasks within childcare facilities and classrooms. My in-depth knowledge of early child care and education patterns has allowed me to create enriching learning environments. I thrive in collaborative settings and excel in organizational planning, development, and management. My highly-developed verbal communication skills and high standard of literacy make me an effective communicator with both teachers and parents. I am eager to join a district where I can utilize my vast experiences to make a positive impact.
