I graduated with honours from Centennial College as an Early Childhood Educator. I've always had a passion for working with children.  Helping them explore and expand on their interests and curiosity always brings joy to me when I see their eyes light up to something new and exciting.  Through our learning opportunities and experiences, I hope to help every child meet their full potential.  I believe maintaining a positive and open atmosphere for our centre is key for the children, parents and co-workers to create a great space for learning.

I have been a full time Early Childhood Education Assistant for over 10 years.  I am currently completing my ECE degree here in Toronto.  The most important goal for me is to develop meaningful long lasting relationships with the children and families in my care, and give them the best quality early education and loving care that I can.   I am excited to be able to nurture and educate young children on their journey to kindergarten and beyond.

My favorite thing about childcare is watching children develop their social confidence and individual strengths.
