About Mariah Garner

Passionate Middle School Educator who is dedicated to service, and enriched by a multicultural background, I bring a diverse and dynamic skill set to the table. For the past eight years, I have been committed to shaping young minds as a middle school teacher in Iowa, where I\'ve also specialized in special education. My journey in education has been profoundly rewarding, allowing me to make a meaningful impact on students\' lives every day.In addition to my educational background, I have honed my skills in customer service and management through various roles. As an optician at America\'s Best Eyeglass Company, I have developed a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of patient care. My experience as a bartender has further enhanced my exceptional hosting and customer service abilities, allowing me to thrive in fast-paced, customer-centric environments.Growing up as a proud military child of two retired Army veterans, I had the unique opportunity to spend my high school years in South Korea and Germany. This experience not only broadened my cultural horizons but also instilled in me a strong sense of adaptability and resilience. Graduating from high school in Wiesbaden, Germany, was a defining moment that shaped my global perspective and appreciation for diversity.Now, I am eager to leverage my extensive background in education, customer service, and multicultural experiences to pursue a career in management. I am excited to bring my unique blend of skills and perspectives to a leadership role where I can drive positive change and inspire others to achieve their best.
