Summary
I am a responsible, hard-working, enthusiastic university student with strong communication and leadership skills. I plan to pursue a career in pediatric occupational therapy, with an undergraduate focus on developmental and social psychology. I am looking for an opportunity to develop my skills within a childcare or camp setting. I would love to be a part of a team environment where I can be a positive role model and mentor to young children, while facilitating a fun and safe learning environment.
