Summary
I have always have been passionate about working with children. My education journey started at Fanshawe in their CYS program. That lead to my first placement at Eagle Heights where I were I assisted in a kindergarten classroom for half the day and was shadowing an EA for the remainder of the day. From there I was advised by my mentors to complete a BA so that I can I have also done the odd volunteering at Author Stringer Public School in a grade 2 class. Just recently I have also done some volunteer work with Stoneybrook Public School's outdoor education program. My experience and education can offer a fresh perspective on the various interventions that take place with children in a way that is reflective of relative psychological research and one of child advocacy. I believe that London Bridge would be a tremendous place to put my learned skills into practice and foster my professional development.
