Motivated Communications graduate dedicated to youth wellbeing and support.

United States

What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters youth development and community engagement.

I am a dedicated Communications graduate with a Bachelor of Arts from Rowan University, specializing in Strategic Communications. My passion lies in improving the wellbeing and coping skills of at-risk youth. I have honed my skills in diffusing tense situations and overseeing safety protocols, ensuring that the needs of students and their families are met through effective communication and social emotional learning.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles in educational settings, including my current position as a Behaviorist at Eugenio Maria De Hostos Charter School. Here, I prepare and lead restorative intervention data trackers and collaborate with teachers to implement best practices for student behavior. My previous experience as Dean of Students at Belmont Charter Middle School allowed me to facilitate academic improvement through counseling and mentorship, significantly enhancing student engagement and attendance.

As a self-starter, I am driven to build strong relationships with families and communities, ensuring that every child receives the support they need to thrive. I am committed to professional development and leadership, continually seeking opportunities to grow and make a positive impact in the lives of young people.
