Summary
My career in education has given me the ability and confidence to command a presence when communicating on a subject matter. Through earning my credential in Social Sciences I gained a unique ability to educate for people's needs and form interpersonal connections while doing so. I am committed to expanding my fields of expertise and motivated to adapt my skill set into a new field of work. My strong attention to detail drives me to always plan ahead, and prepare myself for success. Being challenged whilst working as part of a team towards a collective goal is where my strengths are best demonstrated.
