Awards and Accolades
I originally came to New horizon Academy as a parent looking for childcare for my infant and I ended up finding a passion working as an aide in the infant room. I then furthered my career by becoming a transition teacher, toddler teacher, preschool teacher, and then becoming an assistant director as I expanded my education. After 15 years, I found a calling to change locations where I could better my career and become a school director at our Minneapolis Lake Street location.

After graduating from Rasmussen University with my associate degree in Early Childhood, I started my career at New Horizon Academy as a preschool teacher. After 11 years as a teacher and going back to school to further my education, I took my current position as an assistant director at Minneapolis – Lake Street. In my spare time, I enjoy doing puzzles or going for hikes with my husband.

If only I had words to describe how amazing this center and its staff has been for my family. We enrolled while my husband was deployed and the support we received was beyond compare. I was lost in the sea of new motherhood, and it was this staff and teachers that helped keep me afloat even on the hardest of days. The amazing people here eased my worry every morning, gave me expert advice, kept me updated on everything, and always gave me peace to know my daughter was taken care of. Huge thanks to all the amazing teachers that truly care.
