Tyler Whitfield

I am a passionate individual with a strong desire to educate and invest in the lives of our youth. I recognize that the success of the next generation is greatly influenced by what they learn from the generation before them. It is my belief that educators and childcare workers play significant roles that guide and shape tomorrow's leaders, preparing them for their careers and to be functional citizens in today's society. It is my goal to positively impact the lives of as many young lives as possible, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in the next stages of life.
