As a lifelong learner and educator I believe my experience living in foreign countries for over 5 years has made a tremendous impact. Not only do I understand my gifted and talented students from personal experience, but I also connect with my developing readers and writers from having learned German after arriving in the country. My goal is to find a position in education that allows me to utilize my strengths in technology, interpersonal communication and curriculum. Additionally, I am skilled in diplomacy and protocol and would love the opportunity to support other educators in being extraordinary.Specialties: working with people from diverse backgrounds, creating harmony and ease even in difficult situations, bringing positive energy and enthusiasm to my surroundings. Building on a foundation of integrity to have things work for everyone. Currently seeking a position as an instructional specialist in the writing and reading center or student success center at Long Beach City Collge.
