and I’m so excited to be joining the Tiger Wings team! I’m from Elba, Alabama, and currently a sophomore at Auburn University, where I’m majoring in Rehabilitation and Disabilities Studies. I’ve always been passionate about working in the medical field or with children, so I’m really excited to be taking steps toward my dream of becoming a pediatric occupational therapist. In my free time, I run my own baking business, where I enjoy decorating cakes, cupcakes, and cake pops. I also love attending church and spending quality time with my friends and family. Kids have always played a big role in my life, whether through babysitting or building meaningful relationships with them throughout my leadership roles in high school. I’m so grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to make a positive impact on these children!

McFayden and I just moved to the auburn area almost a year ago from Maryland.I currently work at ogle tree elementary school as a special needs assistant. I love to workout and play videogames and hunt and fish and I love sports.

name is Kelley Brooke Brown, I am from Jasper, Alabama, I am currently a Sophomore at Auburn University majoring in Elementary Education. I am so excited to be a part of the Tiger Wings team. For as long as I can remember I have always had a love for teaching and wanting to help kids. From a young age I have always loved helping others, sharing ideas, and watching someone light up with understanding. Having ADHD myself has inspired me to help students with disabilities by creating a learning environment where every child feels understood, supported, and capable of success.   Teaching has always come naturally; it’s not only something I want to do, but also something that feels like it is a part of who I am. I have gained valuable experience working at summer camps, church camps, babysitting and tutoring centers, where I have been able to share my passion for helping children learn and grow. Working at the Tigerwings After-School Program will help me follow my dream of becoming a teacher by giving me more experience working with kids and helping them learn and grow. In my free time, I enjoy baking and cooking, experimenting with new recipes and sharing them with others. I also love spending time with my friends and family, making memories and enjoying each other’s company. I am truly grateful and excited for the opportunity to work with children and positively impact their lives.

My name is Sarah Loftus, and I'm thrilled to be a freshman at Auburn University, majoring in Elementary Education. Coming from Birmingham, Alabama, Auburn holds a very special place in my heart as both my parents and siblings are proud alumni – it truly has always felt like home to me. This deep connection to the Auburn community fosters a strong sense of belonging that I am excited to share.

Throughout high school, I had various jobs, but my time spent babysitting was always the absolute best! It was during these experiences that I discovered my genuine passion for working with children. I loved creating engaging activities, helping them with their homework, and simply being a positive and reliable presence in their lives. These moments solidified my lifelong passion for serving others and my heartfelt commitment to education.

My educational journey at Auburn is just the beginning. I plan to continue my studies to earn a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. My ultimate goal is to work as a school counselor in an elementary school, combining my love for teaching with a desire to support children's emotional well-being. I believe that fostering a nurturing and understanding environment is key to a child's holistic development, and I'm eager to contribute to that.

I am incredibly excited to be joining the TigerWings team! I'm looking forward to connecting with the children, helping them learn and grow in a fun and supportive setting, and contributing to the wonderful community here. Outside of my studies, I enjoy spending quality time with my friends and family, venturing out to the lake, hiking new trails, and traveling to explore new places. I am so grateful for this opportunity to make a positive impact!
