I have 15 years experience working with kiddos (children from birth-16 years), from my local experience focused on child social development, to family and community outreach.  As a professional, I have worked alongside teachers who require behavioral insight and planned intervention for students both on and off the spectrum.   I was a high school teacher working with teens specifically facing emotional and behavioral disabilities, where my academic contributions became the outline of all lesson plans used in that school.   I am a god-mommy to two incredible kiddos and am deeply involved in their lives. I have served as a mentor for local students (9-14 years old) in the Boys and Girls Club, volunteered as a caregiver-relief agent for foster families (infants-4 years old), and worked as a camp counselor for 6-7-year-old Vietnamese adoptees.  Within a family unit, all members' needs and personal contributions are considered when designing a climate wherein all can thrive.
