I have worked in Kids Connection at Independence Elementary since 2002. I have a degree in Optometry and worked in a hospital in Columbia for 11 years where my practice was mostly dedicated to treating children.
I love having the opportunity to see how the kids develop from Kindergarten to 5th grade. Knowing I am providing a safe and friendly environment for the kids to grow, have fun, learn to socialize, and be themselves is so rewarding. The best part of all, is when they visit after leaving the school and have fond memories of their time in the program. I truly enjoy being around kids. Their energy is contagious.
