Summary
While working with children for over 5 years I've gained lots of knowledge on how to help a child succeed academically in school. In the meantime, doing this I've maintained an AB honor roll throughout high school and completed two years at UNCG with a 3.2 GPA. With all the knowledge that I have learned about children, I plan on continuing my education at UNCG to become a Kindergarten teacher. I have taken care of ages from newborn to 13-year old's in certified daycare's and childcare institutes. The education profession has prepared me to provide comprehensive care and support to students. Proven experience collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to address student needs and enhance their well-being. Known for adaptability and consistent delivery of results, employing skills in counseling and conflict resolution. Teaching children is my passion I plan to follow for the rest of my career.
