Summary
I am attentive and friendly with knowledge of early childhood development. I have had few years of teaching and I have been working on getting into graduate school while taking time off from teaching and working on my license. In early education prioritizing students social and emotional development to support their learning, playing, and interacting is important. I believe to be an energetic person and committed to fostering inclusive and welcoming new learning for myself.
