For the past twenty years, my full-time work was dedicated to teaching at the elementary level. During my tenure, it became clear to me that although I am passionate about teaching children, I have a much larger interest in analyzing and organizing data. Processing and understanding large amounts of information is an activity that I relish. Using my systematic approach and problem solving techniques, I enjoy analyzing information. I am currently working on my Data Science Professional Certificate with an early Spring 2025 completion date. I am excited to switch careers and let my strengths shine!My soft skills include maintaining organization of tasks with a project-management mind-set. As an educator, I routinely had multiple high-priority tasks with multiple deadlines and collaboration groups. It was essential to my profession to stay organized, complete assignments in a timely manner, and work effectively with a variety of team members.The classroom is an every-evolving, fast-paced environment! Within seconds, I asses problems and institute on-the-spot decisions that direct and effect many people. Problem solving difficult scenarios is a natural skill that I was able to develop over time.Presenting information, skills, and trainings in front of large groups or communicating through written and verbal methods also come naturally me. I take pride on being informed, prepared, and a timely communicator daily.Are you looking for a persistent and consistent dedicated employee? I am your person! I work with high integrity and ethics. I am accustomed to being held to a high standard and prefer to approach my work with the same standards. I work hard to do my tasks well and to the best of my ability.Since the business world is ever evolving, it is imperative to stay up-to-date with the latest skills. I embrace new learning and can quickly adapt to change. Nearly every year of my teaching career, there was a new curriculum or teaching strategy to study, learn, and implement within a short timeframe. Additionally, data was routinely evaluated to create day-to-day decisions as well as long-term goals. Learning new skills and strategies, taking additional classes, and analyzing data to make informed decisions are all part of my approach to creative solutions to every day problems. Finally, I have a positive and agreeable disposition! I enjoy meeting people, embrace diversity, and approach life with empathy and curiosity. I find negativity and gossip a drain to my energy and do not engage with it.
