Teachers & Staff

With over 20 years in early education, I’m passionate about helping children grow, build confidence, and develop a lifelong love of learning.

I believe every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and valued. Through supportive relationships and encouragement, I strive to create a welcoming environment where children and families feel they belong.

One of my strengths is building strong teams, supporting teachers, and partnering with families. As a parent myself, I understand the importance of trust and peace of mind when choosing a school for your child.

My favorite children’s book is The Wonderful Things You Will Be because it celebrates each child’s uniqueness and endless possibilities.

I’m committed to open communication and strong family partnerships, working together to help every child learn, grow, and flourish.

I have always loved working with children and being part of their learning journey. Seeing the excitement of a light-bulb moment and watching children grow in confidence is what makes early education so rewarding to me.

With a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science with a pre-therapy focus, I am currently pursuing my teaching certification. I have been part of Primrose for nearly eight years, beginning in high school and returning full-time in December 2023 after college. My experience has strengthened my passion for helping children learn and grow.

My goal is to make every child feel loved, safe, and valued for who they are. I strive to build meaningful relationships with each child and their family, creating a welcoming classroom where children feel confident exploring, trying new things, and learning from mistakes.

One of my favorite children’s books is Oh Say Can You Say? by Dr. Seuss. Its silly tongue twisters bring laughter and excitement to storytime, reminding me that learning should be fun!

I believe every child has the potential to do great things, and strong partnerships with families help make that possible. I want parents to feel comfortable communicating with me and confident knowing we are working together to support their child’s happiness, growth, and success.
