It has been a lifelong dream to have a school of my own. My
passion to teach for the past seven years has instilled a strong desire to make sure that students have a solid education foundation. My
journey in the early childhood education field has allowed me to explore
my teaching and leadership skills from the toddler room to a fifth grade
classroom. After educating a variety of students with many different
learning styles, I strongly believe that every child can learn as long as
they are given a fair opportunity to love and embrace learning. This
begins by building relations with children, so they are able to trust me as
their educator.
