As one of five kids I was given the responsibility to care for my siblings very early in my life. This inspired my focus for early education in Child Development. My family has always been incredibly diverse. I learned to care for a variety of special needs through the necessity to care for my family and those around me. I have experience caring for multiple young children that have type 1 diabetes. I also have experience caring for children who suffer from frequent seizures, and have experience caring for children with disabilities and learning difficulties, such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, speech impediments and a variety of other special needs. My early education was very much established through caring for my family. As I entered high-school I began caring for families in my area and started to gain an interest in childhood education, such as tutoring and working as a preschool teacher in my first years of employment. I have since graduated and have continued my education in STEM.
