Summary

Dedicated and compassionate educator with a Master's degree in Early Childhood Education and experience as a substitute teacher in public schools, including special education classrooms. Through working and living in diverse contexts and internationally, I have gained growth as well as a unique blend of cultural awareness, adaptability, and global perspective.

After dedicating years to raising my family, I'm now eager to re-launch my career, bringing new perspectives and a wealth of life experience to a new professional chapter of my life. Dedicated and enthusiastic, I am seeking opportunities in teaching assistance, educational support roles, special education, or tutoring, with a willingness to consider other opportunities that align with my values and community development.
