Summary

My career revolves around education. I have taught at Community College and High School. I also worked as a Substitute Teacher for 15 years and transitioned to a teacher assistant in Brevard County Schools, Florida. Upon moving to Los Angeles I moved to being a Special Ed. Assistant with LAUSD. I have developed and am developing the necessary skills to serve as an effective, helpful, and caring paraprofessional. My desire is to contribute to the school environment in positive, motivational and healthy ways working with students, teachers and staff.
