Bilingual operations and education support professional focused on child learning and facility operations.
What I'm looking for
I am a bilingual operations and education support professional with broad hands-on experience in school environments, public programs, and facility operations. I bring practical skills in child supervision, translation, and customer service that keep programs running smoothly.
My background includes co-teaching environmental education for young children, translating children’s books between Spanish and English, and providing lunch, recess, and classroom support in K–12 settings. I routinely combine patience, clear communication, and practical problem solving to support students and staff.
Earlier service as a U.S. Army supply clerk gave me strong inventory management and logistical skills, including ordering, issuing, and maintaining accountability of sensitive equipment. I apply that attention to detail to campus operations, event support, and facility care.
I am dependable, service-oriented, and comfortable working both independently and as part of a team. I prioritize safe, inclusive environments for children and effective operational support for organizations seeking reliable, bilingual staff who can multitask and adapt.
