Summary

Dynamic leader with extensive experience in early childhood education, notably at Inspired Education, where I implemented innovative, play-based learning strategies and led curriculum development. Excelled in parent communication and staff training, enhancing enrollment and educational outcomes. Proficient in Microsoft Office and financial management, demonstrating a blend of creative arts expertise and effective customer service.

I worked an ample amount of time in the classroom to prove myself in the office setting. When it comes to the young child and early childhood education, there is not a position I haven’t had experience in that I cannot handle. Whether it being in the classroom or office, I thrive!

Affiliations

My amazing uncle, John Valdora, dedicated his entire life to special education. At age 11, he invited me to assist him with coaching the Hudson County special Olympics bowling league. Between ages 11-14, I handed out awards to the amazing and dedicated athletes who competed. When I was 16, I was gifted the opportunity to learn the sport and held others. I became a couch from ages 16-19 for the Hudson county special Olympics bowling team, and retired when my uncle did. He is by far the best affiliate I could have.
