Summary
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Educational Studies with an Intervention Specialist Certification from Boise State University. Through my coursework and hands-on experience, I gained a strong understanding of child development, differentiated instruction, and how to support students with targeted academic and behavioral interventions. Working as both a Nanny and Children/Youth Ministry Intern has helped me grow even more in building relationships with kids and families, supporting social-emotional development, and creating engaging, age-appropriate activities. I’m passionate about creating environments where children feel supported, capable, and encouraged to grow.
