Personal Statement:

Combining my love of children and education with social services, I have worked with children and families in various capacities as my life choices.  I am a caring professional who is dedicated to providing quality early childhood opportunities for children, and positive support for their families.  I understand and respect the tremendous trust a parent places in an early childhood program and its staff when they make a decision to place their child in the program’s care.  I enjoy supervising staff through support, education, and as a mentor.  And I love working with other early childhood and social service professionals.

 

I have always had a strong desire to make a meaningful difference with children and families for as long as I can remember!  Head Start is a wonderful program for families and children and is especially dear to my heart.
