Summary
I am currently a student at Bloomsburg University studying Early Childhood Education. I have always had a passion with working with people. As a former cheerleader, I have acquired leadership skills, a love for working with children in my community, and determination. Being able to participate in jobs that require social skills and hands on activities, has elevated my interest in working in the field of education. Along with having jobs that require social skills and active participation, it has taught me how to be organized and improvise in a timely manner.
