    Oversaw all of the extended day programs, before and after school. Worked directly with the Grantee- UC Berkeley Graduate School of Education. The programs were funded by the 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant. This was a new and exciting change for me working at a Charter Military School. Jerry Brown, the Governor of California, started this school and visited the school often. The school was focused on college preparation and family engagement.

    Received my Bachelor's Degree from Ashford University
    My degree is in Early Childhood Education Administration. I have the least experience working with children in this area and that is why I chose this degree. I choose the adminstrative side because at sometime in the future I am interested in working with young children at a pre-school or transistional kindergarten program.
