I have been working at Trinity Learning Center for 12 years. When I was a youth I went on a Missions Trip to Monteray Mexico. I worked at an orphanage and a children's home. My heart bursted with love for the kids and I knew then that I wanted to work with children from all walks of life in my future. I want kids to understand that God created them with a unique purpose in mind and they can make a big difference in this world starting at a young age. My daily goal is to make children feel special and abundantly loved.
