I have dedicated my career to working with children of all ages, beginning as a nanny at 14 and continuing through roles in education and therapy. For three years, I worked as a preschool teacher, where I fostered early learning, social-emotional growth, and school readiness skills. Most recently, I have spent two years as a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) in a K–8 school, supporting students with diverse communication needs in both individual and group settings. My experiences have strengthened my passion for helping children thrive academically, socially, and developmentally while collaborating with families and professionals to promote success.
