Summary

I am an upbeat college student with dedication to providing fun, safe and engaging activities. I leverage talent in public speaking and communication to build rapport and lead by example. I have excellent time management skills with aptitude for managing complex activity schedules and having a positive attitude. I love working with people, young and old, and challenging myself. I hope to be a history teacher upon graduating college and I want to move back to CNY permanently.

I am seeking employment when in NY over Christmas breaks and summer session.
