Administrative Assistant, General Eduation
3 years with Eaton RESA
As a SCI paraprofessional at Eaton RESA, my commitment to each of my students has always been my priority. I have been with some of my students for several years, some just a few, but my vision is always the same. I will continue to be their voice, their hands and feet when needed. My motto has always been, “I do what I love and love what I do” and after 19 years, I still am committed to these kiddos just the same. Working for Eaton RESA is a privilege and working with my students is an honor.
