Guest Bio
Hadil Alshaghnoubi (She/Her) (on the right) joined the Strive team just over a year ago as a Resource Centre Specialist. She is a Registered Early Childhood Educator and graduated from the Early Childhood Leadership program at Fanshawe College in 2015. She has been in the early years sector for nearly 10 years and has had the opportunity to work in childcare centers as well as teach as a kindergarten teacher in United Arab Emirates. She has always had a passion for working with children and is forever grateful for all the encouragement she had from family and teachers to pursue a field in Childhood Education. Other than her big passion for children, her favourite things to do are: spending time with family, traveling, watching sunrises and sunsets, and walking on the beach.
Sara D'Alessandro (She/Her) (on the left) is a Registered Early Childhood Educator with a degree in Early Childhood Leadership and a post-graduate certificate in Autism and Behavioural Science. She has worked in different capacities in the early years field for several years and is passionate about advocacy for the early years sector. Sara joined the Strive team a year ago as a Resource Centre Specialist, previously working as a toddler educator in a Child Care centre. She firmly believes in the importance of being in touch with your inner child when working in the early years because, as educators, we learn alongside children. Sara thinks the ECE Professional Resource Centre is the perfect place for educators to get inspired and back in touch with their inner child with all the beautiful provocations available.
