My name is Karina Rodriguez, and born and raised in Providence, RI. I currently reside in Cranston with my fiance, Alex. After starting my education at CCRI, I transferred to RIC in August of last year. I have a strong background in early childhood education, with a solid grasp of child development principles. I work as a part-time nanny while being a full-time student. In my free time, I enjoy running, biking, painting, and shopping. I'm thrilled to be part of the YDEV program and ready to tackle this semester with excitement!
