Summary

I have worked in schools for nearly a decade now. I'm in my 3rd year of being a paraprofessional and I love it! I have a calm demeanor that translates well to the classroom. I enjoy building relationships with students, staff, and families. I'm comfortable leading classes in reading and/or math interventions and I'm always ready to step up where I'm needed. I'm currently attending Butler C.C. and plan to transfer to WSU to do the TAP program. I have a strong desire to be an educator and would love to be an asset to your team!
