Summary

I’m seeking a challenging professional career so that I can utilize my skills and apply my knowledge towards my career. I have hands on experience with individual counseling, group counseling, teaching, mentoring and therapy. I’m able to lead others in demanding circumstances and remain calm in stressful situations. I’m self-motivated, hard-working and determined. I enjoy working with people of all ethnicities and diverse populations. Lastly, I’m currently an educator and I love teaching because every student deserves to have a capable teacher in the classroom, who wants to be there and who’s willing to fight for them. Quick-thinking Supervisor recognized for success in guiding teams and boosting performance. Practical problem-solver with excellent issue and conflict resolution skills to drive team and organizational success. Highly effective and knowledgeable in process improvement and inventory control.
