I sought out career opportunities for national and state organizations in the fields related to Early Childhood Education and my passion in social work. I found 3 positions of interest at the NC Early Intervention Branch, Easter Seals, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. These are very diverse positions but all of them allow me to use my experience of working with children, families and state organizations. I look forward to helping families on a broader stage outside of my immediate community.
