I enjoy watching children learn and gain the ability to do things for themselves. I feel very fortunate to work with such amazing people, families and children. I truly do love my job and what I do. Coming to work, I know every day will be different and that I will hopefully make a difference in the lives of the children I teach!

I love being part of a team and working with people in the food pantry. There is a lot of flexibility but the key thing for me is feeding people. It is great to see the difference I am making in the community. I just really love what I do.
