My Experience and Education

  • As a childcare provider…

    I focus on fostering developmental growth by adding structure to daily routines that promote desirable behaviors and using evidence-based approaches to increase resilience. I implement strategies for effective behavior management and crisis intervention, ensuring a supportive and warm environment. My goal is to create enriching experiences, ultimately promoting executive functioning, appropriate development, and emotional well-being.

    Throughout my years I have gained experience in providing support for children in need of behavioral interventions , demonstrating adaptability, patience, and empathy. I continue to increase my skills in collaborative communication and problem-solving, through collaboration with parents, teachers, doctors, and therapists to optimize children's development and well-being

  • Throughout my experience in teaching…

    My initial responsibilities were to create and lead small group activities that enhanced student engagement and mastery of educational standards. As well as, daily lesson planning, classroom prep, and formal and observational assessments. In my work I found a passion for fostering a love of education in the children I worked with and creating an environment built on goal-setting and desire for mastery.

    Recognized for my expertise in behavior management and instructional techniques, my supervisors selected me to lead interventions for struggling teachers and their classrooms, implementing innovative approaches based on the latest research in promoting motivation and classroom success. This experience allowed me to enhance student academic outcomes and facilitate social-emotional development throughout the school.
    In addition, I conducted quarterly assessments to assess children's knowledge in literacy and mathematics.

  • Master’s Degree in Applied Psychology (May 2026)

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology (May 2025)

  • Associate Degree in Education (May 2023)

    My educational journey has provided a strong foundation in education and psychology, focusing on developmental and behavioral aspects of learning and mental health. I earned an Associate's degree in Education back in 2023. I am apart of an accelerated, dual-degree program which allows me to pursue my Bachelors and Master's degree in Psychology at the same time. My coursework (which includes pediatric feeding disorders, clinical and school psychology, psychopathology, and cognition)has deepened my understanding of the psychological factors affecting children.
