BIO

I have been an avid reader for most of my life and now get to share my passion of reading with my own children. My husband and I enjoy trying out new ice cream shops throughout Minnesota. In my own spare time, I enjoy time at the gym trying out different classes. At the end of the day, I enjoy a relaxing night at home with my family.

Education – BS in Elementary Education

Years of Early Childhood Education Experience: 12

What do you like about early childhood?

I enjoy building relationships with the children and their families. I am a strong believer in the phrase “it takes a village.” Early childhood care and education is all about building the foundations of those “villages,” truly supporting the children and their families.

What makes your school unique?

Our long-term tenured teachers provide a strong foundational model to help foster newer staff as they embark in their educational journey.
