My role at Child Youth Services has allowed me to ensure quality and consistency in educational programs, focusing on curriculum, risk management, and staff development.

Throughout my professional journey, I have honed my skills in creating engaging training events and delivering impactful presentations. I take pride in my ability to assess staff competencies and provide constructive feedback, coaching, and mentorship to help them achieve their professional goals. My educational background, including a Master’s in Education with a focus on Curriculum and Instruction, complements my practical experience, allowing me to effectively bridge theory and practice in the field of education.
