@lauracortes2
I build supportive early-learning classrooms and bring accurate data entry and customer service experience.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently planning and delivering early-childhood lessons at Escuela Internacional Sampedrana, supporting students' social, emotional, and academic development while maintaining organized progress documentation.
Across seven years at Colegio Americano de Guatemala I've supported classroom learning, taught English in Kindergarten, collaborated with families, and worked with differentiated reading and writing groups.
Earlier, at Rainforest Alliance and 24/7 Guatemala, I maintained accurate digital records, handled sensitive information confidentially, and resolved customer concerns through clear, professional communication. I'm seeking a remote opportunity where I can contribute, learn, build meaningful connections, and grow.
