About Katrina

I absolutely love being around kids! When I'm with them I feel alive and vibrant and want to pass on love and affirmation to all children's hearts. I love holding them, hugging them and creating safe spaces for children to express themselves. I earned an AA degree in Early Childhood Education and a BA degree in Child and Family Studies because I want to spend my days with kids and spark joy in their lives. I have worked in children's orphanages/schools among some of the most vulnerable kids in Kenya, East Africa, where I grew up and where my parents still live and work for a non-profit . I am currently pursuing alternative certification in Elementary Ed and hope to student teach in Longview area this fall. I worked as an Instructional Assistant at East Texas Montessori Prep Academy until the pandemic and hope to work as a full-time teacher in the near future.
