Summary

I am currently pursuing my Child Development Associate (CDA) certification, where I am gaining in-depth knowledge of early childhood education and development. In addition to my coursework, I am actively volunteering at a daycare, where I am applying what I’ve learned by working directly with children and supporting their growth in a hands-on environment. I have also completed college courses that have further enhanced my understanding of child development and education. I am certified in CPR and have completed mandated reporter training, ensuring that I am equipped with the skills and knowledge to support children’s safety and well-being. These experiences have helped me build a strong foundation in the field, and I am committed to continuing my professional growth in early childhood education.
