United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a passionate Child Development professional with a Bachelor of Arts in Child Development and Family Relationships, specializing in Speech Pathology. My educational journey at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt, has equipped me with the skills to support children's growth and development effectively. I have gained hands-on experience through various roles, including as a Teacher’s Assistant, where I mentored students and assisted them in acquiring essential observational and reporting skills.
My experience extends to working in diverse educational settings, where I have created nurturing environments for children and collaborated with colleagues to implement engaging activities. I have also been involved in special education and speech-language pathology, where I developed Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and conducted speech therapy sessions. My commitment to fostering a stimulating learning atmosphere is evident in my work, and I continuously seek opportunities for professional development to stay updated on best practices in the field.
