I live in Bloomington with my husband and our Plott Hound dog. We have a wonderful blended family with four adult children. In my free time, you can find me outdoors gardening, sailing, fishing, sitting by the fire, or reading. I am a huge Minnesota sports fan—whether it’s the Twins, Vikings, or T-Wolves.

What do you like about early childhood?
It warms my heart to see children forming genuine relationships with one another, learning how to care, share, and grow together. I also love watching parents and guardians build a supportive community around the children — a space where everyone feels connected, welcomed, and valued.
What makes your school unique?
As a new director, I am truly looking forward to building strong, trusting relationships with the staff, families, and students. I’m excited to grow alongside this community and to create an environment where everyone feels supported and connected. I can’t wait to settle into a new routine and begin this next chapter with our amazing team and families.
