Summary
Beyond being the neighborhood friendly bartender and server, I pride myself on my abilities to maintain and build customer relations, function in a high-volume setting, and my commitment to upholding the highest standard of customer service.
These qualities can transfer far beyond table service, to any industry involving customer/client satisfaction through exceptional communication skills, punctuality and the ability and willingness to adapt and learn in any environment.
I am focused on building and growing my abilities to maintain and support a classroom, not just academically but also by providing a safe and supportive environment, and ensuring a positive classroom climate. I aim to ensure students thrive beyond academics, caring for their social-emotional learning as well.

Personal Life
I am a married mother of four children. I grew up in Palm Beach and Broward county. My husband is a Police Officer for the Town of Davie.
I enjoy reading in my free time, having been able to finish two or three books a week. It has been a long journey to pursue my dream of being a teacher, where I have learned the value of persistence. I have hopes of fostering academic greatness as well as being an encouraging, supportive role model that my students can trust.
