What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to utilize my teaching and healthcare skills while fostering a supportive and engaging environment.

I am Alondra Valdes Franco, an enthusiastic outdoor educator and healthcare professional with a passion for teaching and supporting children. My experience as a Lead Instructor and Med Tech at ECOS at Cedar Crest has equipped me with the skills to manage large groups of children effectively while ensuring their safety and well-being. I thrive in dynamic environments, leading educational hikes and activities that foster learning and growth.

In addition to my role at ECOS, I have gained valuable experience in healthcare settings, including working as a Med Tech at Pali Adventures and a Patient Schedule Rehab Admin at St. Jude Rehab and Wellness Center. These positions have honed my communication skills, allowing me to liaise effectively with parents, therapists, and insurance companies. My background in office management and patient care has further strengthened my ability to multitask and maintain a positive environment for both staff and patients.
