My passion has always been Early Childhood Education, and I’m proud to bring over 25 years of experience to the field. Over the course of my career, I’ve earned a double B.A. in Accounting and Business Management, a CDA, a Non-Expiring Director’s License, Director Credentials, and a Class B CDL.
My professional journey has included working with Head Start for several years, serving as a Chapel Watchcare Manager with the U.S. Army for 8 years, teaching as an Advanced Pre-K instructor for 3 years, managing a school-age program for 4 years, and leading as a Curriculum Coordinator for 2 years. I am thrilled to now serve as the Director at Ladybird, where I look forward to supporting children, families, and staff.
Outside of work, I stay busy running two tackle football leagues and one 7-on-7 high school league. I’m also passionate about music and photography, working with several bands and venues as a photographer and social media creator. On the personal side, I’m a proud mom of one daughter and four sons — and I’m excited to welcome my first granddaughter soon!
