What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote position that allows me to utilize my skills in data entry, record keeping and order processing. I would like to contribute with my abilities while advancing in a supportive and growth-oriented company culture.

I am a retired educator with a strong commitment to fostering growth and enhancing team dynamics. My experience at Georgetown Technical High School has equipped me with excellent organizational skills and a proven track record of effective communication. I have taught diverse classes, maintained accurate records, and differentiated instruction to meet the unique needs of each student.

Throughout my career, I have developed strong relationships with students, parents, and colleagues, ensuring a supportive learning environment. My role as a community counselor further honed my empathic listening skills and ability to coordinate outreach programs, increasing access to vital mental health services. I am now eager to apply my skills in a remote position that aligns with my passion for helping others and achieving excellence.
