Joy Harper says
Dear Dr. Barbara Stroud!
It is with excitement and ambition that I write this letter to you. My name is Joy Harper. I’m an early childhood/parent educator residing in the metro Boston area.
Currently, I am working with Massachusetts General Hospital -ThinkKids, Cambridge Public School, Somerville Public Schools and St. Mary’s Center for Women and Children (group home for mothers in foster care).
Throughout my own professional work, I have been studying and implementing your work as the foundation for all learning with young humans and adults.
Additionally, I have completed 24 hours of Reflective Supervision with MassAIMH and working toward endorsement.
I would love an opportunity to study & train or connect with you in any manner.
I am often in the state of California, as I am a California native. Born and raised in Ventura County and educated at California State University, Long Beach.
I am sure our paths will cross at some point intentionally or unintentionally and I look forward to that time. In any capacity, I am open.
Warm regards,
Joy
