I have been working for Denver's Early Childhood Council as the Professional Development Assistant for over two years now. With the help of the Council through their dedication to staff PD, I have received a credential as a Signing Time Instructor, which enables me to train 0-8 yr teachers on how to implement and use American Sign Language in their classrooms and have recently been promoted to the Career Pathways Coordinator, which will enable me to expand our Career Pathways offerings and supports for Early Childhood Providers in Denver County. I received my baccalaureate from Bowling Green State University in International Relations.
