Finished high school and did a couple of years in Sierra College and some in Saddleback College. I started studying for liberal arts then I switch to IT and then I switched to child development. I have worked in different fields such as automotive (office assistant), door-to-door sales, and child care. I always wanted to be a teacher because I had many amazing teachers that made an impact in my life and I wanted to do the same for someone else. I’ve worked with children for only 3 years and I have liked it so far. To be able to see those little ones grow, talk, for some, even get to see their first steps, hear them talk, and greet me with such enthusiasm and love whenever I get to the classroom it’s a blessing and heartwarming. I like to read, watch anime, listen to K-pop and J-pop, I like playing the guitar and singing.
