About

I am a student of Early Childhood and Special Education at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania. I am what is called a "non-traditional" student: single parent, adult learner, and career changer. But that does not mean I find any excuse not to be my best. I strive for greatness, with dedication, determination and drive. I have had the privilege of learning about the world from a diversity of lenses, by listening, observing, reading, and connecting with people and places across the globe. The experiences have enriched my understanding of global developments and transformations. They have enhanced my appreciation and commitment to a quality education. I want to bring that to nurturing young minds to be as curious, accepting, innovating and drivers of change and global coexistence through a multi-faceted classroom experience.
