United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a passionate educator and social services professional with extensive experience in teaching and community support. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, followed by a Master's degree in Public Health, specializing in Social and Behavioral Science. Over the years, I have dedicated myself to improving the lives of individuals and families through education and social services.
In my recent role as a Family and Consumer Science Teacher at Liberty Middle School, I utilized hands-on activities and standards-aligned instruction to engage students and foster their growth. My previous experience as a Child Care Licensing Supervisor and Developmental Specialist has equipped me with the skills to supervise teams, develop policies, and ensure compliance with regulations. I am committed to continuous professional development and actively participate in workshops and seminars to stay updated in my field.
