Summary

I have worked at Smart Start Preschool for 24 years! What started out just being a summer job before attending college, ended up being my second home! I absolutely fell in love with it and decided to stay where I was! Two years later I became the director! I have been there ever since. Now that I am 42, and I have a 10 year old daughter that I am raising on my own. I have decided its time for a change! A career change is a decision that didn't come lightly. I love people and learning new things! Im ready to give 100% to something new! Im reliable and trustworthy! I know how it feels when staff decide to call in or just not show up.. that is not me!
