PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Compassionate Special Education Paraprofessional offering excellent skills in devising student strategies and monitoring classroom activities. Pursuing a similar position where a well-qualified individual with an understanding of autism spectrum disorder and learning disabilities is highly sought.
I started at a summer school program working with student with autism, Down Syndrome, and children with other disabilities confining them to wheelchairs with cognitive learning challenges. After finishing the program, I was offered a job at the Early Learning Center to continue similar work with children ranging from ages 3 to 5. Worked through the year there full time, creating heart warming relationships with each student and coworker.
After the school year I chose to explore bartending. I signed up to learn at the Minnesota School of Bartending where I learned to become a certified bartender through the help of many professional trainers.
