I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Central Missouri. After graduating, I returned to my hometown of St. Louis, where I taught preschool in the public school system. In March 2015, my family relocated to Omaha for my husband’s job, and I was fortunate to join the Primrose team shortly after. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children of all ages and support classrooms throughout the school. I have a true passion for early childhood education and love watching each child grow and discover their unique potential. I also enjoy working closely with our dedicated teachers and partnering with families to create a strong home-to-school connection. As a parent of two children who attended Primrose from infancy through Pre-Kindergarten, I’ve experienced firsthand the supportive and nurturing environment our school provides. It’s a joy to be part of this close-knit community and to contribute to the success and development of each child in our care.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education with endorsements in K–6 and 7–12 Physical Education. I’ve been part of the Primrose family since 2008, and it has truly been a second home for me and my family. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of teaching in all of our classrooms and leading our Thumbs Up! physical development program. After transitioning into management, I served as the Assistant Director before moving into my current role as Enrollment Director. My connection to Primrose is deeply personal—my three children are proud Primrose graduates and are now thriving in middle and high school. Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and our three wonderful boys. I’m so excited to learn more about you and your family and to help make your Primrose experience as special as ours has been!
