Yonayda Rodas
Summary
I'm a bilingual professional with a background in social work and a strong passion for helping others succeed. I currently work as a Paraeducator, where I support students' academic and personal growth, and I've also worked as an Admissions Counselor, guiding students and families through the college process. With a Bachelor's degree in Social Work, I bring a mix of compassion, communication skills, and cultural awareness to everything I do. I enjoy connecting people to the resources they need—whether in the classroom, in the community, or during big life transitions.
