As a lead teacher, I was highly dedicated to supporting the emotional, social and academic development of my class of one year olds. Having been trained in the developmental stages, I have the knowledge to offer a safe and nurturing play environment to boost learning. As well as, possessing excellent communication, interpersonal and problem-solving skills.
Having been a Teacher's Assistant, I am a passionate instructor with communication strengths and observational skills. Being a positive role model, I have learned to skillfully handle day-to-day class activities while looking for opportunities to make a difference by focusing on supporting development and teaching new skills within a nurturing environment.
As a Retail Sales Associate, I was trained in greeting high-volume customers and recommending merchandise based on their individual requirements and requests. I became skilled at creating displays to promote higher sales and arranging merchandise, processing transactions and using registers.
During my time as an Activities coordinator, it gave me the background in caring for multiple children simultaneously; ranging in the ages two to ten years old. Within the center I held a dedication to creating a safe, engaging, learn and play environment for all children including those with various special needs.
I have been a member of the non-profit Best Buddies organization. Best Buddies helps create opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development, and inclusive living for people with intellectual and development disabilities. I was paired with a buddy who has Down's syndrome. The experience is very enriching to have seen him learn new skills and become a successful leader of his own life!
With a love for all animals, I continuously volunteer at various animal shelters. I enjoy being able to ensure the animals receive daily exercise and play, having their kennels maintained, and giving them the affection they deserve.
I have also have volunteered at libraries over the years. I have a joy for reading and love to share it with others! I primarily volunteer in the children’s section to assist during reading time and in planning various age-appropriate activities.
