What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my teaching experience in a business setting, focusing on leadership and training opportunities.

With over 12 years of experience in special education, I have dedicated my career to teaching children with special needs and leading diverse teams of qualified classroom staff. My journey has equipped me with exceptional organizational skills, effective communication abilities, and a strong capacity for problem-solving. I am known for my patience and my ability to manage multiple tasks in fast-paced environments, which has allowed me to create a welcoming and cooperative classroom atmosphere.

In my recent role as a Substitute Teacher at Redondo Beach Unified School District, I have successfully ensured that lessons continue smoothly in the absence of regular teachers. I build positive relationships with students, staff, and parents, and I am frequently commended for my reliability and preparation. My previous experience as a Special Education Teacher at Arlington Independent School District allowed me to serve as a Team Lead, where I effectively communicated with administrators and managed a team of up to 15 staff members. I organized training workshops for new teachers and mentored them in their professional development.
