About Jenifer Goes

I am a very outgoing, optimistic, dedicated individual who has an ambition to succeed in any given environment. I have extensive experience working with children ages 5-21 years old. I have been a soccer coach, a mental health assistant, a high crisis special education teacher’s assistant, a wavered high crisis special education teacher, and a College Crusade homework help assistant for middle school. I have experience with all areas of special education, i.e. mild, moderate, severe, and profound. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with a concentration in Special Education Mild to Moderate, and a minor in Speech and Language. I love to learn and be challenged in new and different situations. I am a team player and enjoy the benefits of collaboration, and I also succeed and work efficiently and effectively on my own. My goal in life is to become an elementary inclusion teacher, and to be able to touch as many lives as I can. I am seeking a position where I can develop and excel while giving my best to an employer, and helping every student I encounter to believe in their bright futures and help them to achieve their goals. I am very excited to finally be right where I want to be, headed towards my dream of making a difference.
