Summary
Having a passion for education from a young age, I have spent my entire professional career assuring that children and their families reach their milestones and full potential. I work to assist and accommodate them, as well as to make myself available to them when they need support. I want to continue to advocate for students and their educators by fostering a safe and loving environment that ultimately provides for the well-being of them and the school as a whole.
