I have a lot of experience working alongside and directly with children, and it has been a highlight in my life in each position. I have developed skills to promote learning as well as growth among educational environments and beyond. In every position I have taken on, I have been able to build upon my strengths and learned to acclimate in every environment I step into with ease.
