Old Bridge

Summary

Empathetic and understanding as I am professionally transitioning into early childhood education, with a strong passion for working with young children. My experience as a server taught me how to stay patient, calm, and communicative even in high-stress situations which I know is key when working with kids and families. I'm excited to bring my natural ability to connect with others and create a positive, supportive environment to a educational setting where I can help children grow and thrive.
