JEFFREY STEV ORDOÑEZ
Direct Support Professional
Carthage
Summary
I am motivated to educate others. In 2019, I received my bachelor’s degree in kinesiology. I then became a personal trainer and educated individuals on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. In 2020, I began working with individuals with special needs and taught them how to achieve their goals independently. In January 2026, I got accepted into the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) Program through Missouri State University in Springfield, MO. I am determined to pursue my education to continue educating more people in a school setting.
