Summary
I am a hardworking and motivated individual with strong interpersonal and organizational skills. While the bulk of my experience is in school counseling, I am eager to serve in any way at The King's Academy. I am well versed in education and willing to take on a new challenge. I would consider a part-time as well as a full-time position. I would be happy to consider a role in elementary, middle or high school as well as a role with the online academy. I feel called to serve at TKA and hope that I can make a difference within the school community.
