Summary

With a diverse background in education and photography, I bring a strong set of skills in customer service, professionalism, time management, and problem-solving to every role. As a preschool teacher, I fostered a nurturing, engaging environment for young children while maintaining effective communication with parents and staff. My ability to manage multiple tasks and meet the individual needs of each child showcases my excellent time management and adaptability.

In my role as a substitute teacher, I demonstrated professionalism and flexibility, quickly adjusting to different classroom environments and ensuring that lesson plans were executed smoothly. This experience honed my problem-solving abilities, particularly in managing classroom dynamics and addressing unexpected challenges.

As a photographer, I developed strong customer service skills by working directly with clients to capture their vision and deliver high-quality results on time. I excelled in managing schedules, coordinating shoots, and resolving any issues that arose during projects, demonstrating my ability to balance creative and logistical demands.
