About Me

I am 24 years old, I Love working with children and I am currently employed as a Lead fitness/Gymnastics/developmental teacher at My Gym Children's Fitness Center 6 days a week as well as attending school part time as an education major, theater and history minor. I Was born in Mexico City and lived there until the age of ten in which time I traveled twice a year with my family into the sierra mountains to a very impoverished village. My father was a psychiatrist and I our purpose for going was to help the people who lived there with health and nutritional problems. We always stayed with a family while we were there and lived with no electricity or running water. I went twice a year for nine years. I now live in NJ, My father passed away and my mother got her Phd in Psychology. I have always enjoyed being around people I became captain of My HS varsity Cheerleading Squad. I auditioned independently and got certified as an Elite All American Cheerleader and got the opportunity to perform during the halftime shows of the Rose Bowl as well as the Capital One Bowl. I have also considered looking into event planning or Human Resources. I will always work with children regardless the career I choose; volunteering and I will always support the importance of education. I have also been finding volunteer work with holocaust surviors who are all amazing in my eyes, their strength is unbelievable. I feel educating people about WWII and the holocaust is not only important but necessary.

Work Experience

    westfield, NJ (US)
    Lead Teacher
    My Gym Children's Fitness Center
    I work with children age rang 4wks-12yo. Every class is entirely different. I get to work and watch a child at each developmental stage and help them improve their gross motor skills, spatial awareness, imagination, flexibility, strength, sensory integration...etc. The programing changes every week so it never gets old and there is opportunity to advance if you are dedicated enough. It may seem easy but behind the scenes running everything efficiently is challenging. You become detailed oriented, organized, learning to think a step ahead. We evaluate our classes everyday to improve. You can definitly gain many skills from this job if you are willing.

    Photographer
    Kiddie Kandids
    Taking infant, Child, Sibling, Group and Family Portraits.

    I Became certified while I worked there, as well as learned how to use a camera properly, and do digital enhancements on photographs. I worked there during the course of 2 years (excluding summer). I am thrilled I got to learn so many entirely different techniques to use while interacting with a child or infant to get them take a good picture. I really missed not working as closely and being able to build more of a relationship with the child. It did help me find a new hobby as well!

    Head Counselor
    Camp Riverbend
    Head Camp Counselor. I've spent the best summers of my life at this place. One of/if not the best camp in this area. 5 pools including two tube slides, a looong zip line, archery, carnival days and doing things like covering a huge hill with actual snow and going sledding in july are just some of the amazing things the dedicated, talented and creative owners: The Breene family have added. It was an honor too work there, It was that camp that made me really want to work with children. Too bad it isn't year round!

Education

    I love working with kids. Nothing makes me happier or more satisfied, I will transfer to Rutgers or kean in a year or two since I work full time and go to school part time. I can't wait to teach but I have a job where I get to work with kids in the mean time and I adore it.
