What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to further develop my skills in education and community engagement, ideally in a supportive and collaborative environment that values inclusivity and student success.

As a reliable and friendly professional with over three years of experience in education and community roles, I am committed to fostering supportive and inclusive environments. My journey began with a strong foundation in communication and teamwork, which I have honed through various positions, including my current role as a Student Teacher at Chicago Public Schools.

In my current position, I support lead educators in developing and delivering student-centered instruction while maintaining effective communication with families and staff to ensure student success. My previous experience as a Program Leader at Skokie Park District allowed me to create and implement engaging educational activities, helping children enhance their learning experiences. I am passionate about identifying areas where students may need additional support and collaborating with parents and management to address these needs effectively.
