What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to foster children's development in a supportive environment.

I am a passionate educator with a Bachelor of Arts in Multidisciplinary Studies, focusing on Media Studies and Child Development. My experience as a substitute teacher has honed my time management and problem-solving skills, allowing me to effectively support students in their learning journeys. I pride myself on building strong relationships with both students and colleagues, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various educational and child care settings, where I developed excellent communication skills and the ability to manage diverse groups of children. My role at the Cleveland YMCA Child Care involved creating engaging lesson plans and working closely with parents to ensure the best outcomes for children, including those with special needs. I also have experience in leadership roles, such as serving as the Music Programming Director at WZIP, where I led a team and developed my computer skills.
