Then, I obtained my Bachelors Degree from Ashford last November 2013. I own and operate a FCCH (Family Child Care Home) that is currently a five star. I am an avid motorcyclist that loves spending time with my family and friends.

For my experience as a rambunctious child, I can remember being labeled. In turn made me realize that teachers sometimes missed judge you from previous classes. So, this made a lasting impression on how I view instances in life because a person can do something and not even realize the damage they can do with labeling. In the future, I plan to take all my education an open up a larger faculty that is welcoming with qualified staff to meet the needs of children. If this does not work, I plan on becoming a Consultant to help other providers who may genuinely want assistance to better educate the children they care for. I believe the impact of having my Master’s degree will show others that I am serious about what I represent as a Teacher and the best interest of children are the foremost important when they are in my care.
