Summary

My name is Christie Amanda Pol, and I am currently employed as an Early Childhood Educator - while I am incredibly passionate about children and working to shape the young minds of today, I am currently seeking a career change into something more aligned with my personal interests and future goals for myself. I am incredibly outgoing and approachable, love meeting new people and working alongside others. I am seeking a position that offers me stability and structure around which I can learn, try something new and thrive while discovering new passions and skills.
