Hi! My name is Aolani Rivas, and I’m from Charleston, South Carolina. I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a bachelor’s degree in Public Health. I’m passionate about working with my community and helping others become the best versions of themselves.
Over the past few years, I’ve worked as a substitute teacher for both Charleston County School District and Dorchester District Two, where I discovered how much I love working with children. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling and was looking for a hands-on role that would allow me to continue working closely with kids—that’s when I found About Play!
What I’m most excited about is working one-on-one with children and families while supporting their growth along the way. My younger siblings have played a huge role in inspiring my passion for working with kids. When I’m not working, you can usually find me at my dance studio, traveling, or spending time with my family.
