Hello! I just graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a major in Child and Adolescent Studies! I am starting my teaching credential and master's program next semester. I am currently working within a school district in the IE, substitute teaching all the way from preschool to 12th grade. I love art, pets, music, playing outdoors, and so much more! I am on summer break right now and have a lot of availability, but once the school year starts up, I won't have as much. I would love to support your children as well as you!
