Summary

I am a dynamic Site Supervisor and Preschool Teacher with a proven track record at Big Springs Union Elementary School, excelling in child teacher and family relations. I am a team player. You can not create phenomenal work environment all by yourself. It takes an awesome staff, volunteers, and families to create what you see and hear about at Big Springs Child Care Center. I strive in positive parent-teacher communication, but I can also handle those very hard conversations with parents as well. I flourish with enhancing child development through engaging curriculum planning. I am committed to creating safe, nurturing environments that promote learning and growth for all children.
