Biography
Since graduating in 2020, I have dedicated my career to working closely with families as they navigate and achieve their child’s developmental goals in different settings such as Early Head Start and other early intervention agencies. I am very passionate about being a resource and source of encouragement for parents as they work towards positive outcomes for their children.

Camryn Standiford

I have developed a passion for serving children and families after working for Early Head Start/Head Start. Using my platform and education to teach parents and families how to become advocates for their children and communities is my favorite part of this job. Working at Head Start over the last 3 years in the classroom and as a FSC has given me the opportunity to see the power and amazing results of early intervention. I am excited to continue this work here at JOYA!
