I recently received a Masters degree in Public Health from Azusa Pacific University. I currently have a full time job as an Epidemiologist for our local public health department. Previously, I worked at the SDSU Children’s Center as a teacher's assistant in infant, transition and preschool classrooms. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and also know some baby sign language. I hold a clean driving record and I have a recent background check. I am CPR certified through the AHA. I cook healthy meals and I have worked with families with food sensitivities and allergies. I practice an RIE approach when working with infants and toddlers.
