Summary
My work history is varied, but the common thread that can be found throughout is my strong interpersonal skill set, particularly in dealing with children, parents and people in crisis. My ability to adapt my approach and interactions based on the needs of the individual are strong. I have had to learn to pivot and adjust in the moment, adapting my approach to each situation and circumstance. This has made me a person of high resiliency and adaptability.
