Summary
Through my diverse work environment and different occupations, I have developed a specific set of skills. Being in a classroom or office necessitates effective time management, multitasking, adapting to individual work, or being part of a larger group. The experience of working with children, particularly those with special needs, has taught me patience, adaptability, and the ability to approach problems from various perspectives. My aim is to develop a positive work atmosphere and tackle challenges with calmness, resilience, and humor. As a teacher, I always tred to listen, not just speak.My goal as a business owner was to create a work environment that was engaging and welcoming.
