Summary
I am an educator with strong experience in the educational field and nonprofit settings, deeply committed to supporting children’s holistic and socio-emotional development. I hold certifications in Neurodevelopment, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and Child Development Associate (CDA), which guide my approach to evidence-based and intentional teaching practices.
I truly believe every child deserves an inclusive, safe, and nurturing environment where they feel valued and capable. My work is grounded in equity, individualized support, and thoughtful planning that meets each child where they are. I approach my role with empathy, structure, and a genuine passion for helping children grow academically, emotionally, and socially.
