My passion is working with children and creating a safe environment for each student to grow in all the developmental domains. Most of my experience is with preschool age, however, I have worked and subbed with older students throughout my time at FCDS. I am dedicated, compassionate, kind, and I work well in a team setting. I am a quick learner and always strive to complete tasks to the best of my ability in a timely manner.
