Over the course of 3 months she had helped create a daily syllabus for the kid's activity center and worked to push them to set goals. However, the highlight of working with LYLA was the bonds she got to form with the kids. They baked cookies from scratch, built popsicle stick houses, and even talked about why leadership skills were so important. The experience molded her to be patient, understanding, and developed her to work in underserved communities. In 2017 she began working in residential care. This included working with children who were suffering from PTSD because of unfortunate circumstances that effected their daily lives. This prepared her in de-escalation technique and strategies. As well as being patient enough to know that wounds take love and support to heal. Which lead her to teaching in 2019, Teaching taught her how to be resilient, motivated, understanding, encouraging. She also learned how to diffuse social situations, as well as do assessments based on milestones. This experience helped her to be able to work with a wide variety of kids and parents.
