I am a dedicated teaching assistant who is passionate about creating a positive learning environment by supporting the classroom teacher in helping students reach their full potential. I excel at maintaining a fast-paced learning environment by organizing supplies, tidying the classroom, ensuring the smooth execution of daily tasks, and catering to the needs of our diverse students. In addition to my ability to cultivate positive learning experiences for the students, I possess strong organizational, collaboration, and communication skills, as well as empathy and patience. I am also very mindful of parents' feedback, suggestions, and concerns. I established a trusting relationship with parents by demonstrating empathy and understanding, giving them the sense of being valued and heard.
