Summary
Passionate about supporting children and families, I am a dedicated Master of Social Work student with a strong academic foundation in psychology and hands-on experience working with children. My background includes working in daycare settings and as a nanny, equipping me with skills in child development, behavioral management, and family engagement. Eager to apply my knowledge in a school environment, I am committed to fostering a supportive space for students by promoting their social-emotional well-being and advocating for their needs. I am excited about the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals and contribute meaningfully to a school community.
