Hello! My name is Jessica and I am 22 years old. I'm super ecstatic and honored to be a part of the OPFS team! I obtained my Associates in Early Childhood Education in May 2022 and have worked in the ECE field for a little under a year. I have four silly little cats that I absolutely adore. Despite not being able to bring them with me to my favorite places, I love going to museums, going on nature walks, and going on roller coasters! I can't wait to get to know everyone and have nothing but fun and create new memories with the little ones, families, and of course, the staff!
Katie has been working in the ECE field for over 10 years in a variety of different roles but her favorite role is being a teacher!
