I have worked at both the San Marcos Campus and the Escondido Campus. I have really enjoyed working for the lab school, as I have grown and learned so much. I majored in Human Development with an emphasis in Children&#8217;s Services and received my Bachelor\u2019s degree at Cal State San Marcos. I currently hold a site supervisor permit and also have an Associate\u2019s Degree in Child Development with an emphasis in Working with Families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6\">I love to implement a lot of art in the classroom and watch the children use their creativity, hands, and imagination. Not only does art help development within the brain, but it is also a way of self-expression and communication. Outside of the workplace, I am a wife and a mommy, and I couldn\u2019t be any happier. I enjoy doing outside activities, traveling with my family, music, and attending sporting events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alphabetized by last name.
