Summary

I am a dedicated and compassionate individual that strives to impact the lives of children and youth. With over 8 years of experience with children, I excel in demonstrating positive and healthy relationships, while creating a safe, and non-judgmental environment. My studies in psychology have guided me to value the importance of mental health by revealing the complex interplay between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, highlighting the importance of early intervention, and fostering empathy for individuals facing emotional and psychological challenges.
