Olivia Torres–Castro

Early Intervention Specialist

What is your position at Brighton Center and how long have you worked for Brighton?
I am an early intervention specialist and have been with Brighton for 6 years.

What is one of the fondest memories you have while working with a child in the field at Brighton?
There are too many fond moments to chose just one. Every child has their own unique story of struggles and accomplishments. Me being able to see their first steps, and see parents with teary eyes after hearing their child’s first words is unforgettable. I love that I am able to help our little ones accomplish their goals, it means the world to me.

What is the best part of your job?
The best part of my job is that we are able to help and make a difference in the lives of the children and families that we serve.

What do you love most about working with children and their families?
I love to see how families are so involved and determined to help their children reaching their full potential. Our little ones are the true definition of perseverance, they never give up!

What inspires you?
The children and the families we serve inspire me.

What is one thing people would be surprised to know about you?
I am an open book and a former ECI mom. I feel my own personal experiences make it easier to relate and work with families.
