    Gretchen, I am so proud of you! Congratulations! I am happy that I got to have at least one class with you. Staring at human skulls has never been more fun ;P

Early Childhood Education, A.S.

Current Residence :

Griswold, CT

Degree/Certificate:

Early Childhood Education, A.S.

Year of Graduation:

2023

I wanted to earn my degree because:

I love working with children; while pursuing my degree I've learned so much helpful information and methods to use to be an successful teacher. I know that every child is different, and part of what I love about my job is that I get to help each one discover their own strengths and talents and nurture those traits through my educational approach.

While earning my degree, my greatest supporters were:

My family and friends, my ECE professor Shelia Skahan, Sherry and Tony Paolino, and most importantly, I couldn't have done it without the love and support of my fiancé, Anthony Paolino!

I’d like to give a shout out to:

My mom and dad for always being so supportive and always being there for me.
The rest of my family and friends for always asking how I'm doing and supporting me.
Sherry and Tony Paolino for showing me your love and support.
The biggest shoutout to my fiancé Anthony Paolino, you always believe in me with every time I do. Your love and support helped me through my school strong!
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

I plan to use my degree to:

Be an Early Childhood teacher and work for the Birth to Three System.
