Summary

Accomplished Preschool Teacher with a track record of fostering child development and enhancing group and individual instruction at The Early Learning Academy. Excelled in creating engaging lesson plans and maintaining effective parent-teacher communication. Skilled in classroom organization and implementing safety procedures, significantly improving learning outcomes. During my time as a Pre-K teacher, I also helped out with front desk management and excelled while enjoying that position as well. In January of 2020, my fiance was in a bad motor vehicle accident. At the time we had a two year old and another on the way. I stepped away from working to help him get back on his feet as well as maintain our household and manage the children. In juy of this year (2024) we relocated from NJ to NC. I am excited to get back in the work force and to integrate myself into this new wonderful community.
