We are especially proud of her recent achievement of earning her bachelor's degree—a wonderful milestone that reflects her commitment to her profession and continuous learning.​
What is your favorite part of working with the children?

What is your favorite part of working at CACC?
My favorite part of working at CACC is that I get to work with other educators and children who grew up and come from where I do.
​

My favorite children’s book is “The Color Monster” by Anna Llenas. It helps explain feelings and emotions using colors, which has helped many children learn about the different emotions we experience.

My favorite colors are pink and black.

If you could be any animal, what would it be?
If I could be any animal, I would be a bird because I would love to fly through the sky.

What is the silliest thing that ever happened to you in the classroom?
The silliest thing that ever happened to me in the classroom was when I was running from a bee, and the children were laughing.
​
What is something valuable you’ve learned while working with the children and other teachers?
Something valuable I have learned while working with children and other teachers is that you can find joy in the little things, and that collaboration and respect are very important when working with other educators.
