What I'm looking for

Seeking a role that combines early childhood education with AI and technology, where I can make a positive impact and contribute to the STEM community.

I am a dedicated and compassionate early years caregiver and educator with a strong passion for nurturing young minds. With a focus on children with learning disabilities, I have developed structured activities to promote motor, language, and emotional skills. I am now driven to merge my expertise in early childhood education with my growing knowledge of artificial intelligence.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with external professionals to create coordinated and intensive support through occupational therapy, speech therapy, and play interventions. I am committed to providing compassionate care and verbal and physical interaction to develop strong bonds with children.

I am excited to bring my skills and experience to a new role, where I can continue to make a positive impact on the lives of children and contribute to the STEM community.
