Mooresville
Summary
My work history for the past few years has been a little all over the place. I lost my husband and my mother within a month of each other in the summer of 2021 and I tried returning to my teacher assistant position, but I didn't feel like I was able to give the best of myself. I was desperately trying to survive, but I didn't know what to do with myself if I wasn't in the classroom. I spent the following year trying new things and finally found myself back in the classroom, only to have the federal funding for that position cut off. I took on the current position of transitional kindergarten teacher, but I am finding myself at a point in my life where I want stability and challenges. I am so ready for a permanent, full-time position where I can utilize my skills and grow and learn and be part of a team that cares about the wellbeing of others.
