What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply communication, training, and organizational skills in collaborative, growth-oriented environments that value clear stakeholder engagement.

I am a communication graduate with hands-on experience in early childhood education, insurance claims investigation, and campus residence leadership. I balance rigorous schedules and multiple responsibilities while delivering clear, compassionate communication to diverse stakeholders.

At Little Jewels Learning Center I developed weekly curricula for 20 two-year-olds, introduced a daily schedule and reward system, and cultivated strong parent relationships; at State Farm I investigated vehicular injuries, negotiated settlements across three states, and summarized medical records up to 1,500 pages to estimate treatment costs.

I also coordinated communications and training for residence life staff, produced student-focused events and social media campaigns, and managed scheduling and customer service in a salon environment. I bring strong time management, advanced writing and speaking skills, and a collaborative, solutions-oriented approach.
