A little bit about me

I am a computer science student currently enrolled online, which gives me a flexible schedule. I am also working toward completing my associate’s degree by the end of June. I enjoy working with kids and getting to know their personalities. I’m naturally more on the introverted side, but that helps me create a calm, comfortable environment for children. I enjoy spending time doing things like watching fun movies, dancing, coloring, reading, and letting their creativity lead the way.
