Summary

I’m a caring, energetic person with a strong passion for working with young children and a goal of becoming an early childhood teacher. I love spending time with little ones—especially my toddler niece, who I often help look after—and I find joy in helping children learn, grow, and feel safe. I’m very family-oriented and enjoy being around my loved ones, animals, and meeting new people. I thrive when I’m busy and active, and I enjoy expressing myself through fashion and makeup, always taking pride in looking my best. I also have a personal interest in aviation and travel, and I’m excited to bring my enthusiasm, warmth, and creativity into a preschool environment where I can make a real difference.
