years of professional experience
I've always been passionate about exploring opportunities to grow in my career(s). Having worked with children, teens and adults in different settings has allowed me to build skill in understanding the needs of others & what's necessary to provide support.
Working remotely the last 4 years has me excited to interact with others in person again - Allowing for more room to display personality and my personal love for fashion!
