Summary

I'm a highly motivated team player with passion for helping others. I possess excellent organizational and communication skills and provide individualized assistance and support. I'm experienced in delivering guidance and education on various topics such as academics, behavior management and technology. I believe in teamwork, and willing to listen to others input and see how we can all use our skills to complete the task at hand. Inspiring and motivating kids is why I choose to seek a profession in education, so that I can use and give back what my mentors did for me in my education. I don't taking the role of leader, but I also don't mind lending that hand and being a helping hand for those that need it.
