Summary

Highly motivated employee with desire to take on new challenges. Strong work ethic, adaptability and exceptional interpersonal skills. Adept at working effectively unsupervised and quickly mastering new skills. Excellent communications and coordination skills. My past work experience has allowed me to sharpen my skills regarding coordinating activities and accomplishing goals while working with a vast array of different personalities. Fostering a positive learning and creative environment for my two girls is a passion of mine. These skills coupled with my love for children, makes me a prime candidate for a position as a Teacher Assistant or Administrative Professional. Recently selling my successful business has provided an opportunity for a career change to allow me to work with children and fulfill a goal of making a difference in children's lives.
