Summary

Over the last 20 years, I have been involved with youth groups at church, mission trips which aide in the local community and also, traveled to Haiti to aide their community. I have worked in a private learning center for about 6 years, with ages ranging from infant to 12 year olds.

I am charismatic, energetic, encouraging, and a great team player.
