Summary

Dynamic Early Childhood Educator with a proven track record at Chambliss Center for Children, adept at fostering creativity and enhancing social skills through play-based learning. Skilled in relationship building and effective parent-teacher communication, I create customized strategies that support diverse learning needs while maintaining a safe and engaging classroom environment.


While most of my career has been in Childcare, I have a passion for Marine Life and am in school to be a Marine Biologist. I know it is a tough field to come into, especially with no given background or education experience, which is why I am a driven worker. I am adaptable, and can work in any given environment. I am a hard worker, a team player, and pride myself on my achievements and aspirations.
