Tell us about your CAPK Journey.
My CAPK journey is very special to me because I grew up through CAPK. Being part of CAPK from a young age and now having the opportunity to work for the organization feels like I have come full circle. CAPK has been a part of my life for many years, and I am grateful to now be able to contribute to an organization that was once part of my own childhood.

I recently graduated from Taft College with an Associates of Science in Business Administration. This fall, I will begin attending California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB) to continue my education and further pursue my goals in business.
What advice would you give someone who is starting out in Education
My advice would be to be patient, open to learning, and never be afraid to ask questions. Every experience is an opportunity to grow, and even the smallest role can make a positive difference in a child's education.
What do you like to do in your personal time?
In my personal time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, relaxing, and making time for the thing I enjoy especially love shopping and going to Dodgers game.
