Summary

I am a self-starter with the ability to multitask in fast-paced environments. I am flexible and versatile and able to maintain a sense of humor under pressure. I am poised and competent with the ability to easily transcend cultural differences. I thrive in deadline-driven environments and am excellent at team-building skills. I have over 15 years of experience working with children and youth. I have enjoyed working with children whether in school settings and organizations that specialize in youth or coaching. I have found great joy while working with children.
