Awards and Accolades
I have always wanted to work with young children and now with more than 9 years experience in the field, I enjoy using my skills to ensure I am creating a safe and educational environment for all. I am currently the director of the Champlin location, but I have also had the roles of an assistant director and a toddler teacher. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and my sons. We enjoy gardening, making sourdough, and learning new skills.

New Horizon Academy made it so easy for me to feel safe leaving my 6-week-old full-time at daycare. Now, 5 years later as a mom of 3 boys, this daycare center has become like family. It’s amazing to be able to have the same teachers over the years caring for my children! I will forever recommend the Champlin New Horizon Academy.
