I am a resourceful, adaptive, and creative professional with emphasis on organization, customer service, childcare, and teaching. Being a nurturing and caring individual with work experience in these areas has been a great asset. My passion for children has taken me to Nicaragua on two occasions to play, nurture, and teach children. In recent years, I became a Facilitator for a program that incorporates non-violent solutions to conflict. This work has given me excellent skills in conflict resolution.
