I am a UW graduate with a degree in psychology focusing in early childhood development. I am returning to school post-baccalaurate to focus on completing medical school prerequisites. I have a passion for working with children of all ages and have over 10+ years of experience, as my first job was at 16 volunteering in a preschool. I fell in love with the experience of not only teaching and making an impact in a child's life, but also them teaching me. My passion is in pediatric psychiatry and it is why I am pursuing a medical degree. I want to make a difference in my community and I beleive starting with children is the most important step. After all, they are the future of tomorrow ! I am an energetic and patient sitter who enjoys learning from the different characteristis and qualities each child brings. I am CPR + First Read more Aid certified, I hold a nursing assistant certification and my past experienes include preschool lead teacher, certified behavior technician, and a mental health specialist.
