Awards and Accolades
I fell in love with the early childhood field because of my younger sister, who is 15 years younger than me! I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Administration in 2022 and have been a Director of a nonprofit childcare center in southern Minnesota before I moved to Fridley and found my way to New Horizon Academy. I spend my free time doing martial arts, sewing, being outdoors, and just being at home with my boyfriend!
