Tell us more about yourself and why you have decided to pursue a career in Early Childhood Development:
"As a mother of two and a former musician, I previously worked at Bridges Academy in a creative capacity within the music school. My contract ended in 2023, where I had been teaching creative arts to grade 8 and 9 students. The reason I decided to pursue early childhood development is my deep belief in my ability to teach children, coupled with my profound love for them. I find studying their minds and behaviors incredibly fulfilling and enjoyable. Ultimately, my goal is to establish my own mindfulness center.”
