Summary

Aside from being a dedicated Assistant Teacher with excellent communication and coordination skills demonstrated through previous classroom experience. Compassionate, professional and committed to student learning and overall wellbeing. Quick to jump in and help teacher with student or administrative needs. I also have high interest in becoming a plant based chef. I enjoy learning new recipes, new ways of cooking, and enjoy venturing out with new flavors. I have been out of the work profession for a few years, due to raising a family. Now that all my kids are in grade school I am wanting to use that time to build my skills in the workforce once again. I am open to all areas of opportunity considering my experience.
