I have worked with children for many years, including as an elementary aide with Covina-Valley Unified School District since 2017/2018. I’m a proud mom of two amazing kids, 12 years apart—my 25-year-old son with autism, a gentle giant who has taught me patience, compassion, and the beauty of unconditional love, and my 13-year-old daughter, whose curiosity and energy bring joy to every day. These years of experience have shaped my heart for creating a safe, nurturing, and faith-filled environment where children can grow, explore, and feel valued. I believe, as Hebrews 6:19 reminds us, that “hope anchors the soul,” and it is my joy to share that hope with every child through love, kindness, and care.
