MY PATH TO EDUCATION
I was looking for a new job in the maintenance and janitorial field when I found a listing for SYV Family School online. I applied, and everything worked out well. I have more than 15 years of experience in maintenance, and I take pride in doing my work well and supporting the school community.
WHAT SHAPED ME
Working in maintenance for many years has taught me the importance of responsibility, consistency, and teamwork. I enjoy helping create a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where students and staff can thrive.
WHY SYV FAMILY SCHOOL
All of the staff are kind and welcoming to both parents and students. I also love that children have the freedom to be outside, explore, and enjoy open spaces while learning.
IN MY ROLE
I work hard to be the best I can in my role and to support the daily needs of the campus. I also enjoy connecting with students, especially when they invite me to play soccer with them.
FAVORITE CHILDREN’S BOOK
The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss
Messi: A Boy Who Became a Star by Steve Herman
OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL
I am the coordinator for Central Coast Academy Lompoc. Soccer is my passion, so I stay busy after work for about 10 months out of the year.
