Awards and Accolades
I am a mom to two school-aged girls who both attended New Horizon Academy from infancy to their pre-kindergarten graduation. In my free time, I love to try new restaurants and live music venues. Spending time in nature is super important to me and I feel lucky to live in such a beautiful state.

I discovered the importance of early childhood education when I became a mother. If I had known then what I know now, I would have invested in my son’s education and social-emotional experiences before he started kindergarten. I am passionate about helping families be prepared for what lies ahead in their child’s education, and fostering a sense of inclusion. I will continue this work for every family we serve at New Horizon Academy and beyond.

I highly recommend the New Horizon Academy in Highland Park! My son attended for five years and in each of those years, we watched him learn, play, laugh, and build lifelong friendships. The center director and teachers felt like an extension of our family. I have a unique appreciation for the educational skills my son acquired at New Horizon Academy, as I am a kindergarten teacher myself. When my son graduated High Five, he had incredible literacy skills that allowed him to enter kindergarten ready and willing to read. We love the St. Paul Highland Park NHA!
