I hope to make a difference by teaching the kids I see how valuable they are and that they deserve a spot each place they go.

What is your background? Experience, degrees, skills, etc.?

I attended Lake Area Technical College where I earned my degree in Occupational Therapy Assisting. Growing up, I spent countless hours around kids, as my mom owns an in-home daycare!
