Summary
Motivated and highly organized individual with strong communication and interpersonal skills. I bring a broad range of experience working with children, including roles as a ski instructor, private nanny, and a year-long co-op placement in a kindergarten classroom. Currently completing a full-year dissertation exploring arts integration in elementary education, further developing my passion for teaching and curriculum development. I am deeply committed to supporting children's learning and growth, and I am particularly interested in combining my enthusiasm for education with my background in Art History. As a natural leader who works well collaboratively, I value teamwork and effective communication as essential components of successful educational environments.
