I hold a master's degree in early childhood studies, specializing in public policy and advocacy, and have consistently worked to advocate for the needs of young children and their families. My commitment to understanding infant and early childhood mental health motivated me to earn a certificate from the Erikson Institute in 2022. For me, early childhood is more than just a profession; it's a passion that inspires me to support the development of young minds while empowering families and fellow educators.
