As a passionate teaching artist with over five years of experience working with school-aged children, I thrive on combining creativity with educational enrichment. My background includes a Master’s degree in Nutrition and Exercise Science, which has fueled my dedication to promoting well-being and inspiring a love for health among young learners.I believe in the power of creativity and hands-on learning to engage students, and I am committed to fostering environments where young people can grow, explore, and succeed. I am currently seeking opportunities as a teaching assistant, permanent substitute teacher, youth advocate, or youth program site director, where I can bring my enthusiasm, skills, and expertise to support and guide students in their educational journey.I’m excited about opportunities to collaborate with like-minded professionals who are dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of children and young adults.
