Summary

I am a teacher with a Master’s Degree in Special Education. I love working with people and am truly not fulfilled unless I feel like my job is making an impact on society. While working in the classroom has been wonderful and fulfilling; I am looking to utilize my education, leadership skills, and love of learning outside of the school setting in a career that is fulfilling with opportunity for professional growth and new experiences.
