Summary
Skilled and dedicated teacher assistant with three years of experience in early childhood education, specializing in classroom management and individualized support for students with special needs. Proven ability to create engaging lesson plans and facilitate small group activities, enhancing student comprehension. Committed to fostering a safe and nurturing learning environment while integrating visual arts to promote creativity and expression. As a practicing artist, I actively create my own work, and draw from that experience to design imaginative, meaningful activities that inspire young children to explore and express themselves through art.
