Goals and interests

Career goal

My intended job path is to work with children in early education or make my own business in pre-school. I am also interested to work as a kindergarten mentor for new kindergarten teachers.

I am currently trying to resume my career as an educator and complete my Masters Degree in the near future.

Outside the classroom

I enjoy volunteering time in Pre-K-3 Peck/Lawrence Campus for the last 3 years. I like to take prolong walks in Mt. Tom and the Ashley Reservoir in Holyoke. I have a fascination to take pictures of nature and animals. Finally, I like visiting museums, theaters and beaches.
