Summary
I'm a passionate Early Childhood Education student at Seneca Polytechnic, having just completed my first year of the program. I'm eager to build on what I've learned by gaining real-world experience as an assistant in daycare and school settings. I care deeply about supporting children's growth in a positive, inclusive, and engaging environment, and I'm excited to bring my energy, curiosity, and developing skills into a hands-on role where I can learn, contribute, and make a meaningful difference.
