What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented and proactive professional with over 6 years of experience in supporting team operations, project coordination, and cross-functional collaboration. My strong communication skills have enabled me to effectively manage schedules, streamline workflows, and build productive working relationships. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am eager to contribute my organizational and interpersonal skills to a dynamic business or HR team.
In my current role as an ENL & History Teacher at Family Life Academy Charter School, I coordinate with internal teams and families to ensure alignment on student goals and progress. I create engaging instructional content for English language learners and manage communications for over 80 students. Previously, I served as a Grade Chair and Learning Specialist at Achievement First Bushwick Middle School, where I led team meetings and developed tracking systems to monitor student performance data. My experience as an Executive Team Leader at Target further honed my leadership and operational skills, as I directed daily operations and managed a team of over 20 associates.
