What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my teaching skills and customer service experience in a supportive and collaborative environment.

I am an enthusiastic educator with a Bachelor of Arts Degree, majoring in English, and I am eager to leverage my education in a new opportunity. My experience as a VIPKid Teacher in China has honed my ability to create engaging lesson plans and foster a positive learning environment for young learners. I pride myself on my adaptability and my commitment to meeting the unique needs of each student.

Throughout my career, I have developed strong customer service skills while working at Moxie’s Classic Grill and the Real Canadian Superstore. My roles have taught me the importance of effective communication and problem-solving in fast-paced environments. I am dedicated to ensuring that every interaction is positive and productive, whether in the classroom or at the cash register.
