Elementary teaching position at a California Charter School

Profile
An experienced educator who has spent a lifetime interacting with children of all ages, I am passionate about helping young people develop themselves to the height of their potential. Because my early background was in administrative, contract and retail management, I have developed a wide range of professional, organizational and administrative skills essential to running a classroom:

• Creative problem-solving skills; adept at researching and organizing materials and meeting deadlines
• Seven years of human resources experience successfully interacting with a variety of personalities
• Four years of events management experience that have taught me how to remain calm under pressure, develop an eye for details and juggle multiple tasks without breaking a sweat
