Summary

Dedicated and compassionate professional with a rich background in culinary arts, education, and youth mentorship. As the sole proprietor of a successful in-home bakery, I managed all aspects of the business, from product development to customer relations. My experience as an instructor for older adults and as a swim program coordinator has honed my skills in curriculum development, program management, and community engagement. Years of nannying have deepened my understanding of youth development and individualized support. I bring a unique blend of culinary expertise, educational insight, and a heartfelt commitment to empowering at-risk youth through structured, supportive training programs.
