Summary
I am an administrative/service-oriented professional offering a variety of office skills as well as several years in elementary special education as a paraprofessional. My job as a Special Education Paraprofessional comes with a wide range of responsibilities, including possessing exceptional time management skills, the ability to multitask, as it is necessary when managing 4 and 5 year old children, all while handling many other different tasks with accuracy and efficiency. Additionally, I am a strong organized planner, who readily adapts to change, works well with my colleagues, but also independently, and exceeds expectations. My superb organizational skills come not only with the ability to set up an efficient filing system so individualized education plans, memos, assessments, and other important papers can be located, but I am also able to meet tight deadlines without compromise. Lastly, my core competencies include excellent communication skills, with the ability to maintain cordial and productive relationships with administrators, colleagues, and parents.
