Summary
I began my career with Learning Care Group in 2010 as a Toddler Teacher and have since progressed within the organization. As an accomplished and compassionate educational leader with over 18 years of experience in early childhood education, program direction, and staff development, I have successfully enhanced school operations in three financially struggling schools. My efforts have resulted in increased enrollment and improved program quality through innovative leadership, effective communication, and strong community engagement. I am adept at managing budgets, ensuring regulatory compliance, and fostering a positive learning environment. In addition, I am a member of the Butler County Directors Network, collaborating with fellow directors across the county. Within LCG, I have been selected as our district NEO trainer, served as the district recruitment specialist during special projects, and acted as a Mentor Director, traveling to assist other directors in our company, including those in another state. I was chosen to be part of the Ohio Elite Directors Network for our region and have participated in various committees within LCG.
