Deborah Welch Solis

Compassionate, creative and effective teacher with 31 years of experience looking to use my skills outside the classroom. My positive demeanor, classroom administration, willingness to learn and experience in project planning make me an invaluable candidate for a variety of positions. Being bilingual and equipped with an extensive background in versatile environments will allow a transition to another career an easy one. Teaching and my summer jobs at the airlines, as a waitress, in a call center and at a department store have prepared me to contribute to the success of any professional community. I welcome the opportunity to use my skills and expand my horizons by joining a high-quality team that ensures professionalism, hard work, creativity and collaboration to support the goals of a top notch organization or institution.
