I have worked with children and adults of all ages in training and teaching classes. I have spent almost two years teaching art to children of all ages at my local children's museum. I also have over 5 years of training experience working with adults of all ages, teaching them how to read technical manuals and operate various equipment.

Experience: My previous roles as a graphic designer, retail assistant, front-of-house hospitality staff and volunteer work have equipped me with experience working with people of various backgrounds and cultures, as well as communicating within different contexts and purposes. I have worked in professional and hospitality settings, and contributed towards helping clients achieve their communication goals while supporting them throughout the process.

Personality: I am a deeply empathetic person who is constantly putting myself in others' shoes, interested in their perspectives, and how their backgrounds and cultures affect how they see the world; this significantly enables me to understand others well and communicate with them on many levels. I am also a great listener and have a big heart for people. Creativity is a large part of my personality; I value creative expression and look for new ways to solve problems. While I am very open to new experiences and welcome free-flowing expression, I am also equally diligent and organised, and will apply practical methods to achieve my goals. Being an adaptable person, I am resilient in work and life and take on challenges with a broad approach.

Skills: My experience and personality have strongly developed my ability to find new ways to communicate and problem solve, in order to assist clients, customers, or anyone, to achieve an outcome. I work diligently and pay great attention to detail, organising the various aspects of any job for a neat approach. Taking team members into account, I listen well and bring together many inputs in the process. I also evaluate scenarios thoroughly and take great care in understanding those I work with so that I can apply the best approach to any situation.

I’m TEFL-certified with a background in training, facilitation, and people development, which has strengthened my ability to communicate clearly, lead with confidence, and adapt to different learning needs.

I currently run the cardiopulmonary critical care laboratory at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, NY where I grew up. In this position, I design injury models and treatments primarily for cardiopulmonary disease and sepsis. I also handle all of the training of procedures and protocols for new lab members. I facilitate an Advanced Trauma Operative Management(ATOM) course for 4th and 5th year surgical residents. I work well under pressure and pride myself in managing my time efficiently. My drive and outgoing personality has allowed me to be successful in professional and personal settings. I also recently finished a 6-year service in the New York Air National Guard as an Aerospace Medical Technician where I served as the Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge(NCOIC) of laboratory operations. In this position, I developed and implemented all training and procedures in the laboratory to ensure patient health and safety. As a Basic Life Support(BLS) Instructor I held classes for the wing to enhance base readiness. In both of these roles I was able to successfully combine my love and passion for both science/medicine and teaching.

I have completed two practicums in the education system and have worked in two daycares. I worked closely with a grade one classroom and two students diagnosed on the spectrum in kindergarten in the catholic school board. For my second placement I worked online with a private tutoring company serving young learners within high school, as a child and youth care worker, tutor, and attendance tracker utilizing phone call check-ins. Currently I work as an Early Childcare Assistant in a preschool classroom educating young learners aged 2yrs 5 mo to 3 yrs 4 mo.

I’m very strong with teaching and connecting to children based off of my experience teaching in preschool and summer camps. I also have strength in making students feel comfortable and confident. Based off of performance exams from previous campers I taught this summer, students said they felt free to express themselves in my class.

opportunities students face when learning a second language for academic, professional, or
personal goals. I have successfully taught students from diverse backgrounds, tailoring my
lessons to suit individual learning styles and needs. My time in Brazil, where I also developed
Portuguese fluency, has reinforced my ability to connect with students in multicultural
environments and adapt lessons to their context.
