What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values cultural exchange and fosters community engagement.

I am a dedicated and adaptable professional with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from the College of the Marshall Islands. My journey in education has been enriched by my experiences as an International Exchange Student at the University of the Ryukyus, where I gained a deep appreciation for cultural exchange and the Japanese language. I thrive in dynamic environments, consistently exceeding expectations while supporting students with special needs through individualized lesson plans.

In my role as a Special Education Teacher at RMI Public School Service, I focus on creating tailored educational experiences that address diverse learning needs. My background in management as an AL Store Manager has equipped me with skills in inventory management and operational efficiency, enhancing customer satisfaction and driving business growth. I am passionate about fostering cross-cultural understanding and continuously seek opportunities for personal and professional growth.
