What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow and make a difference.

I am a dedicated professional with a strong background in education and social services. Currently, I work as a Special Education Instructional Assistant at Clovis Unified School District, where I support students in achieving their goals and integrating into general education settings. My role involves collaborating with teachers and specialists to ensure that each student receives the care and attention they need to thrive.

Previously, I served as a Crisis Response Team Member at the Marjaree Mason Center, where I handled hotline calls and conducted assessments to connect individuals with essential services. My experience as an Office Assistant at the Department of Social Services further honed my organizational and customer service skills, allowing me to assist clients effectively in navigating their benefits and appointments. I am passionate about making a positive impact in my community and continuously seek opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills.
