Work Experience

Getting my degree in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education after high school seemed to be what made the most sense at the time.  I knew I should get my bachelor's degree, but I did not know anything else about a fitting profession for me.  What I did know is I wanted to be a good mother.  That is how I arrived at the decision of entering the field of education.  In the field, I learned an immense amount of information on child development.  I have an undying passion to help children and youth cope, learn, and grow into the people they want to be.
