What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional with a diverse background in education and healthcare.

My experience as a paraprofessional allows me to support teachers and students effectively, particularly in special education settings.
Throughout my career, I have developed strong skills in patient care and medical administration, having worked as a certified phlebotomy technician and a dental receptionist.
