What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and supports student growth.

I am a passionate Special Education Assistant with a strong commitment to supporting students with diverse needs. My experience includes providing behavioral and therapeutic support, assisting with classroom instruction, and implementing individualized education plans (IEPs). I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute to the academic and emotional growth of students.

Throughout my career, I have developed a wide range of skills, from classroom management to data tracking and event planning. My role as a Budtender further honed my organizational and customer service skills, allowing me to manage multiple tasks efficiently. I take pride in my ability to adapt to various situations and provide exceptional support to both students and colleagues.

I am eager to continue my professional journey in an environment that values teamwork, innovation, and the holistic development of students. I believe that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, and I am dedicated to making a positive impact in their lives.
