Summary
I have a proven history of being an extremely hard-working, highly-motivated, and incredibly positive educator devoted to children, their families, and my fellow colleagues. I have developed many effective skills and strategies during my very successful 32 years of teaching. I am willing to take on challenges, adapt to any environment, and remain open-minded in an effort to continually grow as a professional. I am dedicated to meeting the needs of those I serve in an effort to help them reach their maximum potential and become life-long learners.
My high level of interpersonal skills have been as asset to me as I have also been bartending for the last 2 years. As bartending requires strong communication, patience, multitasking, and the ability to read and make connections with people quickly I have been very successful in this field as well.
