Summary
Having worked with kids the past 3 years I have learned the ups and downs of being in a child-based profession. Because of this experience I gained knowledge surrounding child behavior and realized the importance of not only intellectual support but emotional support. Im organized, optimistic, and excited to take on whatever each day brings me.
