Ralph Bernabe

Hello! My name is Ralph Bernabe and I am excited to introduce myself to potential employers on this beBee

I am a highly motivated and dedicated individual with a passion for music, education, creation, curation, and even pursuing new skills of Data Science and Analysis. With 10 years of experience in music and education, I have developed a strong skill set in public speaking, curriculum creation, and teamwork. I am confident in my ability to bring value to any team and contribute to the success of any project.

In addition to my technical skills, I am a strong communicator and collaborator. I believe that effective communication and teamwork are essential to achieving success in any workplace. I am always eager to learn and grow, and I am committed to continuous improvement both personally and professionally.

As a freelance musician, I have toured extensively in the East Coast with my band called Plant Dad. This experience has taught me the importance of adaptability, creativity, and perseverance in a fast-paced and ever-changing industry.

In addition to my music career, I have also worked as a teacher for 5 years in the public school system. This experience has honed my skills in leadership, organization, and communication. I am passionate about education and believe that every student deserves access to quality education

Moreover, I love to learn any new skill. You can hand me any task and I will gladly learn from it. I love to learn new things and excited for the near future with working with you.
