  Teen Pregnancy Counselor (Intern)

  I worked with pregnant adolescents encouraging them to finish school and I also helped them to find jobs after their education was completed. I worked closely with these individuals to ensure that they recieved the proper government assistance for any and all of their needs. Lastly, I was there for moral guidance to assist these teenagers through their difficulties through home visits and phone conferences -always providing emotional support.

  Universal Pre-K (UPK) Teacher for the NYS Board of Education

  I worked with a total of eighteen children in a controlled classroom, where I oversaw and implemented the education of five year olds. I taught them the basic foundation such as letter and number identification, colors and shapes. I developed daily lessons/unit plans that were designed to enrich the social, physical and intellectual well-being of my students. I created and implemented various activities for the development of fine motor, gross motor, reading, writing and math skills. Lastly, I maintained ongoing communication with parents regarding children’s activities, behavior and development. Show less
