Preschool and Prekindergarten Teacher: I worked alongside a co-teacher to plan and facilitate lessons. I worked with other co-workers on a professional level to make sure the entire program was always running smoothly. This meant putting in extra hours if needed and covering other shifts.

I was proud to be a part of this rigorous process from start to finish.
