I received a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Rhode Island College, studying human behavior and mental processes, including areas such as perception, cognition, emotion, motivation, personality, behavior, and social interactions. I received a Master's Degree in Elementary Education, learning and gaining experience in effectively teaching children in kindergarten through sixth grade. I taught first grade for a year and second grade for five years. I have also had numerous experiences working with children of all ages, ranging from summer camp, visiting orphanages, volunteering

work in schools, and working in an early childhood learning center.
