I’ve grown up and currently reside on the middle side of California. I just graduated in May from the University of California at Sacramento with a degree in Human Development and Family Studies, concentrating in Early Childhood Education. I plan to apply for nursing school next fall as I am in pursuit to become a OB/GYN nurse practitioner. I absolutely adore children! I was a babysitter while in college and I also worked at our child development lab. During my spare time I like to blog, shop, and I love movies! I am so excited to be on board here at Smarty. It’s a breath of fresh air!
