My favorite childhood memories include building forts in the woods, making things in the kitchen & at the workbench, and camping.  I enjoy gardening, hiking, kayaking, volunteering, and spending time with my family.

After earning a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood & Elementary Education, I spent 13 years teaching in the Infant & Kindergarten rooms at a college-based childcare center. Later, for 20 years I created and implemented programs for a youth serving non-profit.

I began working at Earthplace in 2022 and am thrilled to be able to help young children explore and learn in a natural setting like Earthplace!
