A little bit about me

I am a soon-to-be college graduate with a B.S. in Psychology, Minor in Spanish, and a Certificate in Diversity studies. I love to read, I have a cat named Benito whom I love, I’m learning to play guitar, and I absolutely love kids. I’ve always had a big family, which meant always being around and taking care of people’s children. I will be in Columbus for a little while before I want to go to Graduate school for School Psychology. I value education, curiosity, a healthy lifestyle, and kindness.
