After working within and near the school setting for 2 years, I have come to develop an ease for working in fast-pace environments with multiple things going on at once. I have also had to learn how to accommodate to people's needs to better serve and assist them in whatever they need. When I worked as an assistant site manager for an after school care program, I would have to communicate key information with parents/guardians, both in person and over the phone.

Along with the after school care program, I was also working as a substitute teacher helped me to become more flexible with my ever changing (sometimes unpredictable) job. I had to learn how to adapt to what was needed of me and accommodate to what the team and students needed me to do in a given moment.

My internship at a refugee outreach organization that worked with families primarily from East Africa and Afghanistan. I was able to learn a multitude about the variety of different cultures that are practiced within the walls of the organization. I even able to learn some words in the many languages spoken by my students.
