Summary
I am a dedicated paraprofessional with the Lawndale Elementary School District, as a member of the LEAP team at Kit Carson. With over ten years of experience in education, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of students, which I love. With a focus on supporting students with IEPs and behavioral challenges, I bring both passion and patience to my role and take immense pride in celebrating every step of their growth, no matter how big or small. I’m excited about the possibility of being considered to be part of the team and to continue making a positive impact in students’ lives.
