About Payton Anne

Hi! My name is Payton, and I was born and raised in Trinity County. Growing up in a family deeply involved in foster care, I spent much of my childhood helping care for my foster siblings. These experiences inspired my passion for working with young children and supporting their development. I later moved to Chico to pursue my education and am currently working toward a degree in Child Development. I plan to continue my education at Southern Oregon University, where I intend to study sociology. While living in Chico, I worked at a daycare/preschool center providing care and support for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. Through this role, I gained valuable hands-on experience fostering children's growth, learning, and well-being in an early childhood education setting.
