Summary

I am wanting to make the change from being a middle school English Language Arts and Social Studies Teacher, to a new journey having a position with your organization. My past 26+ year extensive career as an effective educator working in public, charter (schools) and in treatment and out treatment facilities educating children, has given me many skills that I can apply towards this position as a Human Service Specialist. My management abilities, effective multitasking skills, my communication, and data organizational abilities would be an asset to your team. I am an individual with a solid history in engaging, guiding, supporting, and collaborating with others. With all my background experience, a position with your company would be a great fit for me.
