Summary
From the age of 10, I have been spending my time
and energy on children from different cultures and
backgrounds (e.g. Italian, Somali, Hispanic, and
American). From Sunday school to babysitting to
VBSs and dance classes, I have been steadily
building my understanding of how to love them
best. Throughout my time at North Greenville
University, I have come to the conclusion that the
best love in the world is one that sees their present
as well as their future potential and helps to bridge
the gap between the two.

Thank you for taking the time to consider me as I seek out a teaching position where I can help
students achieve success in a loving and safe environment.
