What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can coordinate learning opportunities, support educators or families, manage clear communications, and contribute to an inclusive, collaborative organization.

I coordinate professional development support at Think Small, where I enter trainings in Develop and Docebo, manage attendance rosters, and help educators find and register for learning opportunities.

I host online and in-person trainings, respond to educator questions by phone and email, send trainer timesheets, create Constant Contact flyers, and edit eLearning audio in Storyline. I also led an organization-wide Affinity Group and contributed to multiple committees.

My early childhood background includes lead infant teaching, summer center management, and directing a YMCA day camp. I bring experience creating schedules and lesson plans, communicating with families and staff, ordering supplies, approving timecards, and supporting safe, engaging learning environments.
