Hello! I am the Divisional Vice President of Primrose Schools in the Tampa area, including Lakewood Ranch North . I work in partnership with the administration teams at each location to to ensure your child’s early educational experience sets a lifelong love of learning!

As a working mom, I know how important it is in when choosing the right childcare for your little ones. I love getting to see your children grow and master new skills, as well as getting to know your family.

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree from West Virginia Wesleyan College with a focus on Exercise Science. During my clinicals, I spent time at the local Child Development Center teaching them exercises and nutrition. It was then that I realized I had a passion for early childhood education and a natural connection with kids. I started my career in Early Childhood Education in 2015 and have earned my Child Development Associate Credential, Director’s Credential, and VPK Director’s Credentials. I relocated to the Bradenton area in 2021 with my husband, James, and our son Benny. Having been in the industry, it was important to make sure I found the right program for Benny to thrive. We were fortunate to find a home quickly with Primrose School and couldn’t be happier. Since then, we welcomed our second son Frankie, who is a current student a Primrose Schools!

I take great pride in the work we all do here at Primrose Schools and genuinely believe in our mission that who children become is as important as what they know. I am here to help, to listen, and to make your experience at Primrose School one that will stay with you for a lifetime.
