Summary
With a proven track record at Kumon of Kendall Park, I excel in devising learning strategies and boosting enrollment, demonstrating my 40 wpm word processing prowess and empathetic listening. My approach has consistently enhanced educational outcomes, evidenced by managing 300+ student enrollments and innovating engagement techniques.
After taking a hiatus and devoting my time as a stay at home mom to my two wonderful children, I am eager to step back into the work force and once again make a difference in the lives of children and help all attain their full potential irrespective of any economic disparity. I am a firm believer that all children should be provided with a fair chance at obtaining optimal learning opportunities and environments that will enable them to be their best selves.
