Summary

I am thrilled to dive back into my passion after dedicating myself to raising my two children. From my early days in college, where I committed to early childhood education, to my enthusiastic pursuit of related careers and experiences, including Assistant Director, Girl Scouts Leader, balancing parenthood, and helping families with real estate, I found ways to nourish my spirit and stay attuned to the needs of families and children. Drawing upon 25+ years of experience in my life's journey, I am looking forward to once again being part of the daily intricacies of children, families, and early childhood educators.
