Summary
I have experience working in both education and operations, with a strong focus on student support, teamwork, and leadership. As a SPED Teacher Aide, I provide one-on-one assistance to a student with special needs, ensuring they receive academic and personal support throughout the school day. I also collaborate with teachers by prepping materials and assisting with lesson setup to ensure a smooth classroom experience. In the After School Program, I lead a 4th-grade STEM Academics group, primarily focusing on math, and also assist in teaching sewing. During the summer, I work as a Wash Crew Supervisor for Premier Alaska Tours, overseeing a team responsible for maintaining fleet cleanliness. I excel at building strong relationships with students, creating engaging learning activities, and supporting teachers and teams effectively
