Summary

I'm a driven and compassionate individual. This summer I participated in Summer Youth and was a Teacher's Assistant at PS/IS 323, which allowed me to work 1:1 with the students. During my role as a teacher's assistance I was able to enhance the student's engagement and classroom efficiency through meticulous materials preparation and effective classroom management. As for my volunteer experience it spans over 5 years. Every summer I will attend community events with my Mother surrounding Human service / Social work and participated in many community outreach events where I was able to engage, interact and distribute informational pamphlets and agency giveaways while collecting signatures and information. My last community outreach was for NY Project Hope - coping with COVID . During that time I significantly contributing to community outreach and support, showcasing strong organizational skills and emotional intelligence.
