As an educator with over a decade of experience, I'm dedicated to nurturing children's love for learning. With a background in curriculum design, literacy specialization, and dual certifications in General and Special Education, I cater to diverse learning needs. Inspired by Reggio Emilia and Maria Montessori methods, I create engaging, inclusive educational experiences. I've crafted educational content for Sesame Workshop and founded an educational enrichment agency. My approach includes differentiated instruction, assistive technology integration, and promoting multicultural understanding. I tailor activities to each child's interests, whether it's exploring marine life or gardening. Committed to providing enriching, personalized childcare, I ensure each day is a journey of growth and discovery.
