Summary
After 17+ years with the California Highway Patrol, I knew my heart needed a different direction. I resigned in 2021 and last October (2023) , I believe I found my calling - to work with children. I’ve been at the school for 7 months and it’s exactly what my soul needed. Super grateful for the opportunity to be their Rec Aide.
