I am a bright, thorough, and responsible graduate of Lesley University, where I studied Holistic Psychology and Expressive Arts Therapy. I am looking for part-time employment in the morning and have experience working with a variety of populations, primarily children and adults. My positions as an advocate at a Boston-based non-profit organization, a writing tutor, a dancer, an assistant dance teacher for children, and other volunteer and intern opportunities have allowed me to procure multidimensional communication and professionalism skills. I have also worked with children directly in different settings, such as dance studios and even in Thailand as an English and arts teacher at two organizations, The Migrant Learning Center and The Lisu Hut. Moreover, I am artistically-inclined and dabble in visual and movement-based arts. I strongly advocate for the development of creativity and expression as tools for cultivating a confident and independent sense of self, especially in children during Read more their most formative years. Some of my greatest strengths include punctuality, cultural competency, sensitivity, compassion, openness, responsibility, communication, professionalism, and respect. I am incredibly adaptable and will strive to exceed the expectations of my employers in creating a safe and interactive living environment for children.
