BIO

I love working in an environment where I can make a difference in someone’s life, whether it helps now or is something that helps them later in life. I enjoy learning new skills and striving to achieve new accomplishments because,  just four years ago, there were many things I couldn’t do. Now that I can, I never want to miss an opportunity to try something new. I love that my team is always ready to help wherever needed, knowing I would never ask them to do something I wouldn’t do myself. One fun fact about me is that I used to clown in college, and now I’m the one who wears all the random costumes for different events!

What do you like about early childhood?

I love watching the process children go through as they learn new skills. It is amazing to watch them not only accomplish that skill but also be able to role model it for their peers.

What makes your school unique?

Our school feels like one big family, where everyone is always willing to step in and assist wherever the need is greatest for the day. The teachers know all the children and at least on unique fact about each of them.
