What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my teaching and administrative skills in a dynamic educational environment, fostering a love for history and learning.

I am a highly motivated and experienced History Education Program Facilitator and Library Assistant, with a strong background in history and education. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History from Arizona State University and am currently pursuing a Master of Arts Degree in World War II Studies. My passion for history drives my commitment to providing excellent educational experiences.

Throughout my career, I have facilitated over 305 museum tours and coordinated multiple history summer camps, showcasing my ability to engage and educate diverse audiences. My experience as a History Museum Tour Guide and my role as a Library Para professional have honed my communication and administrative skills, allowing me to effectively manage educational programs and provide exceptional customer service.
