Ms. Ashley Gomez
Hi, my name is Ashley Gomez!
I am a Psychology major at saint Elizabeth University. I have 9 years of experience in the childcare field. After college I want to pursue a Doctorate degree in Psychology & work with children. My favorite activity is drawing, painting and reading. As a child my favorite books were the Junie B. Jones series and the Magic Tree House series. During my free time I like to play the guitar, sing & dance. I also like to cook with my friends & family. I’m very excited to be part of the Primrose team & excited to work with the students and learn all about them. I believe that its important to build a child’s trust & make sure they are confident in themselves along the way!
