About Valary

In the spring I will receive my degree in psychology from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I love to cook and try new recipes. My favorite time of year is the summer because I love to travel and the beach. I am employed by the YMCA as a youth development teacher. I've worked as a teachers assistant at a bilingual school for second graders and was part of a research study that looked into how elementary aged children develop biases. My free time is dedicated to working in the nonprofit world for at risk youth. I've been working with Stony Knolls Youth Services for the past four years. Another area of my study is working with children with disabilities. I've worked with children that have ADHD, autism disorder, cystic fibrosis, Down syndrome and I've also worked with children with behavioral disorders.
