Summary

I am looking to start my journey in teaching after many years of trying my best to finish school. Due to events happening in life I have taken longer than I've wanted, I believe I am fit to start teaching and still continue to work on getting my certificate; also become bigger and better at what I do. I am great at creating a professional relationship with students, always having listening ears to any of their needs and want. I love to engage with students because each and every one of them have their own stories to tell and hopefully one day, if things go well with my career, I can be part of it. I love learning and working for my future goals. I also consider myself versatile and dynamic, at Jericho Partnership, enhancing student engagement and mastering classroom management. Excelled in creating safe, organized environments across educational and warehouse settings, blending hard skills like packaging with soft skills in communication and child development. Achieved significant improvements in learning outcomes and operational efficiency. I've learned to balance multiple things at once and I feel ready for this new step in life.
