I am a very dependable and friendly person. I may not come across as one at first sight but it’s only because I am a little reserved, but by me being reserved doesn’t mean that I can’t or won’t be good at interacting and socialize with people. I have social anxiety and I am fighting extremely hard to get out of my comfort zone by doing something that I think may benefit me and others. I can socialize if it means I’d be helping make a person’s day better. I am committed to work to a high standard because, I could work under pressure and could also adapt to every situation. I am able to multitask and solve many problems I may encounter. I consider myself a very organized and responsible individual; I am able to finish a task when it is given and in a timely manner. I know I'll make sure everything is up to date because I am very good at paying attention to the littlest details that some may look over. Experience

2015-2017
Art Teaching Assistant/CAS Prep Tutoring Program
I assisted in an art outreach for students ages 5-12 over the Summer. I organized and conducted several art activities for the students to educate and encourage them to draw and learn a little about art mediums so that they could benefit from the knowledge of art; This program I was involved in would encourage some of the children to want to do art because some of the kids came in the program already saying that they weren’t good at art and if they weren’t good at it they didn’t feel like they should care about it. So, I informed them and encourage them to draw anything because art takes time to get. Once they got it or felt comfortable with what they drew, it boosted their confidence. They became so happy and involved once they knew that it wasn’t that had, it just took some practice and dedication and they just had to put an effort in to become happy to draw. 2
East Flatbush Block Association
I Helped organized the outdoor activities during many block parties. one activity for the kids required a machine, so I was in charge of it using a painting/art machine. I would help the children create amazing arts and craft using the art machine. It was a very fun experience helping the kids to do this I liked making them happy. They would run over to their parents and show them what they did, even some parents came over wanting to tr out the machine. I had an amazing time with this over the summer I really hope that one day I would be able to do this again. Skills
