I started my journey with children as a babysitter and nanny, moving my way up to a preschool teacher. I have also worked as a lead GSRP teacher before making my way into a leadership position as an assistant director in 2018. Now, as a center director, I strive to spread my passion for learning and making relationships with all my families and teachers. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family, garden, and cook.

I have been working with LCG for three years now. I have been in every classroom. My favorite age group is the toddlers, or infants. I have worked my way up to the school education position I came form a different center but I am excited to take on my role here. As a School Education Manager I hope to bring more curriculum into the classrooms. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, my fiancé, and my dog sunny. I also like to ride bikes or go for a walk.

I take pride in building strong relationships with families and my team, and I’m dedicated to helping every child grow, learn, and thrive.
