What I'm looking for

I seek a remote role where I can apply special education, case management, and customer service skills, contribute to process improvements, and collaborate with teams to deliver measurable outcomes.

I am a dedicated Special Education Teacher with over 21 years of professional experience, holding a Master of Arts in Education and certification as Highly Qualified in English. I blend classroom instruction, curriculum design, and transition planning to improve student outcomes.

My career includes roles as a Travel Agent, Court Liaison/Instructor/Customer Support Representative, receptionist/front office clerk, and multiple special education teaching positions where I developed life-skills and vocational programs that increased student employment and achievement.

I have a proven record of improving processes and outcomes — for example, raising student test scores by 20%, increasing program participation by 30%, reducing processing time by 30%, and boosting student job placements by 20%. I am skilled at database entry, case management, and cross-functional collaboration.

I seek remote work where I can apply my strengths in communication, curriculum development, client relations, and data-driven problem solving to support organizational objectives and deliver measurable improvements.
