Connecting with kids has always come naturally to me. Growing up surrounded by younger family members and spending lots of time babysitting, I have always felt drawn to this line of work and knew it would be something I’m truly passionate about. In high school, I explored this passion through the Child Development Program, which gave me hands-on experience working in inclusion classrooms. These opportunities taught me the importance of creating a safe and supportive learning environment, where children feel free to learn, grow, and express themselves. I’m excited to continue this journey and work alongside this amazing team at SSDS. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my friends, family, and my cat! I also love music and going to concerts!
