Summary
I am an engaged, curious individual with a background in teaching people of all ages, from toddlers to adults. From my work in local schools, I have learned a great deal about what it means to have empathy and awareness, and I have developed extremely robust communication and organizational skills. I am a tactful team player and I'm a quick study. I take pride in doing my job well and I am very eager to move towards a career in healthcare.
