I love working with children of all ages whether it be at school or my church. I started at Primrose in December of 2011. I have worked in the Robbinsdale School District special education department for ages from 3 years old to Kindergarten. I love watching the children grow and develop into young adults. I enjoy getting down to their size and interacting with them. Let us all understand there is a little kid in all of us. Sometimes we have to step out of our little box and enjoy life. That is what it is all about.
