Summary

I am a Western Washington alumni looking to gain classroom experience that I can later utilize in teaching art education. Experienced in providing daily living cares, emotional support and behavioral redirection to dementia patients in assisted living. Although different from students, the interpersonal skills I've attained from 3 years at the care home lend themselves to the compassion, patience, and flexibility required to engage effectively in the classroom.
