About Me

I am a Child and Youth Care graduate at Fanshawe College in London, ON. I have been interested in being a CYC Practitioner since I could remember. I would love to work at Victoria Hospital as a Child Life Specialist someday.

I adore children since I was in my young adolescents. When I was in my late years of elementary school, I would supervise the kindergarten classes during recesses and supervise the grade 1 class on rainy days. When I was in high school, I got my volunteer hours by volunteering my time at daycares to be with children. I always want to be around children and help them turn their struggles into strengths.

Janice Waterson

Janice Waterson is a classroom teacher who was one of my supervisors when I did my first year college field placement at a public school. She helped me learn different concepts of communication and feedback. I would always ask her for feedback and she would always give me clear and consistent feedback to better myself in the workplace.

Kelly Caines

Kelly Caines was my supervisor when I was volunteering at one of the daycares. I volunteered there over the summer and other holidays. I would mostly be in the senior room (3-6 year old) for most of the day. Miss. Caines taught me a lot about discipline and responsibility while I was volunteering there.
