As the oldest of five children, I’ve always had a strong connection to caring for others, especially my siblings. With a 9-year-old brother who frequently spends time with me, and sisters aged 22 and 15, I grew up in a dynamic household where I naturally took on the role of "playing mom" and assisting my own mother with the daily responsibilities of raising a large family. This early experience fostered my passion for working with children. As a teenager, I eagerly took every opportunity to babysit and spent my summers working in various camps, enjoying the energy and creativity that comes with engaging with kids. These experiences shaped my desire to pursue a career focused on youth development. Today, I am the Youth Programs Coordinator for the City of Raleigh, where I have the privilege of supervising more than 60 staff members and overseeing programs for over 300 children. My Read more love for working with children continues to grow as I dedicate myself to creating enriching and supportive environments where they can thrive.
