I have skills in Microsoft office, teams development because I handle most of our meetings and I usually take over the class if the teacher is not available so I would say a lot of leadership skills, CPR certified and I am currently taking a scrum two week crash course. I am also looking into ui/ux research because it doesn’t require much coding but if I have to up my coding skills I surely will to get a good stable post. I did a train on internal audit I did apply to entry level positions but I didn’t get anything. I am looking into getting my MBA maybe that would help. Pretty much everywhere and trying everything.
I got my degree in health studies philosophy. Life hardship I had to change my major from Biology to health studies and philosophy. I am currently located in Jessup Maryland.
I was working at Rowan university in the diversity and inclusions office as an assistant then I applied to become a substitute teacher which I was doing for a while until we moved to Maryland and now I am a teacher assistant.
