Organized educator dedicated to fostering student growth and engagement.
What I'm looking for
As an organized and dedicated professional with a strong background in education, I have honed my skills in managing groups, tasks, schedules, and projects. My commitment to continuous growth drives me to bring strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving abilities to my work, ensuring efficiency and supporting organizational success.
In my current role as a Teacher at Ironbound Children’s Center, I design and deliver lessons aligned with New Jersey State Standards, integrating multiple curricula to provide comprehensive instruction. I foster an inclusive environment that supports student development, tailoring lessons to individual needs and conducting assessments to track progress. My experience as an After Care Coordinator has further enhanced my ability to develop programs that cater to the specific requirements of students and families seeking supplementary care.
Additionally, I have ventured into digital artistry and content creation, where I independently create and market a wide range of digital art pieces. This creative outlet allows me to collaborate with clients to bring their artistic visions to life while managing an online presence and sales. My diverse skill set, combined with my passion for education and creativity, positions me as a valuable asset in any educational or creative environment.
