She holds a Bachelor of Science in Child Development with a minor in Spanish. Outside of ARTE, she works full-time as an Early Intervention Specialist, where she has the privilege of supporting children ages 0–3 and their families in their developmental journeys. Prior to this role, she worked as a toddler classroom teacher for a year and a half and previously as a dual immersion preschool teacher.
In her free time, she enjoys cooking, sipping iced coffee, collecting giraffe-print items, and spending time with her wife and their fur baby.
