I have always loved working with children, and my experience in both working in an academy and school settings has strengthened that passion. From assisting in an academy to working in a school cafeteria, I’ve had the opportunity to interact with kids, support their learning, and create a positive environment. Those experiences helped me realize that early childhood education is the career path I want to pursue. I am currently working toward my paraprofessional certification and plan to earn an associate’s degree in early childhood education. I’m excited to continue growing in this field and making a difference in young children's lives.
