Summary
I am, a hardworking and passionate person that has had the honor and privilege of working with children and different clients. In pursuit of one day becoming missionaries, I've had a lot of child care training and have a lot of experience working with children. I then expanded my skills and got a class A CDL and received doubles triple, hazmat and tanker certification.
In the past I have been a line haul and over the road driver. I have worked as a Camp Counselor, a Student Leader for Young Life, a middle school leader for my church, and teaching assistant for teaching English in Thailand. I became a crew trainer at my first official job at Taco Bell. I later went to work as a Direct Support Professional and provided care and needs for adults with developmental disabilities. I have a passion for teaching and I am a high believer of positive reinforcement and I make learning fun. I love to learn new things . I'm very flexible and love to learn and try new things.
