I am a dedicated special education teacher with eight years of experience in the New York City Department of Education. I hold both my bachelor's and master's degrees from NYC institutions. Born and raised in Queens, I now reside in Staten Island and work in Brooklyn. In addition to my teaching career, I have a strong background in non-profit work, having served as a residential habilitation worker providing respite services for children, teens, and adults with disabilities. My experience also extends to animal care, particularly with dogs, I worked at a daycare during college and offered dog walking services while pursuing my graduate degree and working as an assistant teacher. Working with children and animals are my greatest passions. Currently, I am seeking part-time or occasional opportunities in child care.
