I started working in the early childcare field after college as I love that it sets the foundation for children. Being able to implement tools in the classroom to enhance development is a beautiful thing to witness from infancy to Pre-K. I have worked in every age group as a Director and Regional Director. In my free time I love to attending my kids softball and baseball games and visit new restaurants with my college friends of 23 years. I also love to travel with my family, watch cooking competitions and do interior design.
