I have an educational background in physical education and am currently working towards a degree in early childhood education at Massasoit Community College. I have been an educator since 2020, as a teacher and then as an assistant director.

What inspired me to be in this field of work was initially being the oldest and always having to babysitting younger family members. As I got older I realized the passion I have for guiding the youth! Growing up I didn’t have older kids to look up to so I always wanted to be that for other children.

I am very creative and always try to bring new elements into the classroom for learning. I love to do anything hands on. I am great with science and numbers, and my versatile work experience has taught me how to think quickly on my feet, multi task, and be efficient. I want parents to know that I always have their child’s best interest in mind and it is an honor to be helping to shape their young minds.

I truly enjoy connecting with children and helping them navigate their big emotions. I like to call them “little people with big feelings”—because even at a young age, their emotions are real and deserve to be met with patience, understanding, and compassion.

I’m from Philly. I live in Brockton with my fiancé and our son. My main hobby is dance—I’m a trained hip hop dancer—and I would love to connect with local artists and choreograph for them. I also want to complete my degree in early education. My goal is to become a regional or executive director.
