About Jacob

Hello! My name is Jacob, but you can call me Jake! I am a graduate student at California Baptist University pursuing a Masters of Social Work with a concentration in clinical/direct practice. I hold a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Development with a concentration in Early Childhood Intervention. I am energetic, optimistic, and love working with children. I believe that the early stages of a child's development are one of the most integral stages in their lives. There are many factors that contribute to their cognitive, motor, emotional, and social development during these early stages. Therefore, fostering safe and welcoming environments where children feel valued is my main priority. In the future, I aspire to become a school based mental health therapist or school counselor. I am currently a substitute teacher and former preschool teacher. To that end, I am passionate about the field of early academia and fostering valuable learning environments.
