Summary

As a hairstylist and a mother I place a high value on good relationships! Whether that’s from hairstylist to customer or teacher to student. I believe that the education of children is SO important and that the weight of education can be made so much lighter by good relationships with teachers and students. My very first job was as a daycare teacher. I worked in that role for all of high school and loved getting to work with the kids! As I’ve grown and gained experience in other areas and have had children of my own, I’ve come to see just how wonderful home schooling can be. I’ve also learned a lot about making content online and would love the opportunity to pursue something that allows me to be in both the homeschool world and the content moderation world. I am a dedicated employee, a hard worker, and work well independently, but I am also a good team player. I am motivated, positive, and am really good at staying up-to-date with the latest social media dances and trends!
