My family is what I love most! I am the youngest of two sisters. I have 3 nephews and 2 nieces. They are my world and I am very involved in their lives ! We love to go out to eat together, watch movies, and visit amusement parks. We are very close and always there for each other.

When I am not at work I can usually be found at the gym. I enjoy weight training and it has turned into one of my passions. I have learned how to be disciplined and consistent but have also found something that helps me manage everyday stress.  I am constantly challenging and pushing myself to get stronger and overall healthier. Fitness has really changed my life for the better.

As a child I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. I loved school and had the best teacher in kindergarten that made my experience that much better. He had a quote by his desk that I did not understand until I was older. It said "Teachers plant seeds that grow forever" which is something I think is so important especially as an early childhood educator. We are the ones who instill children with the desire to learn and enjoy school. We set the foundation that helps them develop academically, socially, and emotional. I have always loved children and being able to help them learn new things. I want to make a difference in the lives of the children who enter my classroom by creating an environment that is positive, nurturing, and welcoming especially working in diverse communities. I want to keep advocating for all children.
