Summary
I graduated from Northwestern High School and decided to continue my education at my local community college, where I am studying Early Elementary Education. While attending school, I have been working at a daycare, a role I truly love and that has strengthened my passion for working with young children. Through both my coursework and hands-on experience, I have confirmed my desire to pursue a career in early childhood education. I am now looking to take the next step by transferring to a four-year college to further my education in Early Elementary Education and Psychology.
