Summary
To obtain a challenging position in the field of educational support. I possess strong interpersonal skills with both students, staff and administration. Also, I am an excellent disciplinarian looking for a position that will utilize the expertise that I have acquired in the last fifteen years in public education. My compassionate yet firm and fair analytical approach to solving disciplinarian issues is the corner stone of my restorative philosophy. In addition, I am student centered and I focus on maximizing student learning and developing positive student climate and culture.
