What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level opportunity where I can use creativity, dedication, and a team attitude to assist customers and professional staff. I'm willing to relocate anywhere.

I'm currently teaching a SCIS special education pre-K classroom at Liberty POST, supporting 15 children through IEP updates, progress reports, annual reviews, and weekly lessons that build fine motor, social, and kindergarten-readiness skills.

Across roles with SCSD, Between Friends LLC, and Childtime Learning Daycare, I've supported infants through preschoolers in inclusive and early childhood settings. I bring classroom management, lesson planning, behavior support, curriculum development, communication, and a positive team-focused approach to helping children grow.
