Profile I am an enthusiastic and eager future primary educator in pursuit of furthering my collective knowledge in all areas of childhood development. My curiosity and passion for teaching young minds, and seeing myself as a life-long learner, is evident with my extensive background in working with children and volunteering in various classrooms in the state of California. I am always looking for new ways to differentiate my instruction and learn from my peers, professors, and other professionals in the field.
