What I Learned:

Working at Roots Academy wasn’t just a job, it was a deeply enriching experience. I developed strong multitasking and organizational skills while managing a variety of responsibilities. Supporting the CEO taught me how to handle high-level priorities while staying flexible and adaptable to the fast-changing needs of the academy.
