From a young girl in Mexico with a heart for children in need to a passionate educational leader, my journey to becoming Campus Director at Neighborhood Kids has been guided by God’s calling to serve His youngest children.

My career in early childhood education began not as a profession, but as a response to the compassion God placed in my heart. After witnessing families struggling without homes in my native Mexico, I promised to make a difference in children’s lives however I could. This promise found its fulfillment when my own child started preschool, and I witnessed firsthand how dedicated teachers could transform young lives through love and care.

What began as volunteering quickly evolved into my life’s purpose as I progressed from floater to assistant teacher, lead teacher, and ultimately director. Throughout my journey working with children from infancy through age 12, I’ve been motivated by a genuine passion for helping each child reach their God-given potential. I find immense joy in celebrating children’s successes and providing empathetic support through their challenges.

As Director, I embrace the opportunity to extend my impact beyond the classroom by building meaningful relationships with families and mentoring our teaching team. I approach each day not as work but as a blessing—”another day in paradise with the children,” as I often say. My leadership is grounded in the belief that God has intentionally placed me exactly where I’m needed, and I trust His plans are always greater than my own.
