Ms. Julissa

Director

I started my career in childcare in the year 2016 and have grown to LOVE it! I’ve had the pleasure to work as the Jr Preschool B lead teacher for 5 years before becoming a preschool lead teacher for a short amount of time. This incredible journey has led me to obtaining my Director’s Credentials and leading Steadfast Academy. I am a proud dog mom, and I am excited to continue growing in my career.

Ms. Angelina

Assistant Director

I have been a part of Steadfast Academy for 7 years, and during this time my passion for early childhood education has continued to grow. I am currently enrolled in college to further my knowledge and skills in the field. Along with mentoring my fellow teachers to help them thrive and be successful in their classrooms, I find joy in supporting families and ensuring a safe, caring environment where children can grow and thrive. Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family. Traveling, nature walks and experiencing cultural foods.
