How many years have you been in the field of early childhood education?

I have worked in this field for over 10 years. I actually started my first job as a teacher assistant in August 2007.

What is your education level...do they have a BA, MA, child development permit?

I completed a Child and Family Development Bachelor of Science Degree from San Diego State University in 2015. I also hold a Director’s Permit through the County of San Diego, Office of Education.

What are you most proud of with in your center?

Well, I was recently transferred to this location from La Mesa location in which I was the Director for five year, so within a month of being in charge of this center, I believe that the team is what makes me the proudest. We definitely had encountered more than a few challenges, but we did not give up. Despite all complications, we all showed that we cared and were ready to support one another, and for that, I am so proud of my team.
