What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply teaching and textiles expertise, contribute to community development, and grow through collaborative, service-oriented work.

I am a dedicated educator with a Bachelor of Science in Family and Consumer Sciences from Andrews University and extensive experience teaching Textiles, Clothing and Fashion Technology. I bring practical experience from roles in education, healthcare support, community youth work, and administrative positions.

Throughout my career I have taken on leadership roles—serving on youth organization executive boards, establishing and editing a monthly newsletter for the PUSH Foundation, and planning community events—which demonstrates my communication, organization, and initiative.

I am dependable, goal-oriented, and adaptable, with strong written and interpersonal skills, proven time-management, and the ability to work independently or collaboratively to support organizational development and positive outcomes.
