"I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Children and Families from Eastern Michigan University and an Associate’s degree in Child Development. I am also currently working toward my Waldorf Teacher Training certificate, which deepens my commitment to nurturing the whole child through developmentally appropriate and creative learning methods. I have over five years of experience working with children ages 3 to 8 in both classroom and one-on-one settings, including early childhood programs, private tutoring, and family support work.
