A little bit about me

Hello! I grew up helping my mom raise my younger siblings, and very much feel like a mom to them having a 10-12 year age gap. My full time job is a school-therapist at an elementary school where I work with students between the ages of 4-12. In this position as a licensed clinical mental health therapist, I provide a supportive and safe space for children to play and learn. I have worked in the school for a year and a half now. I’ve always loved children and love play. Often at friends and family functions, you’ll find me in the play rooms, outside and with the children!
