I earned my Master’s degree in Emotional Disturbances and Learning Disabilities from Florida State University (Go ‘Noles!). My passion for special education began when I volunteered with children with special needs through baseball, basketball, and the Special Olympics. I entered the field of early childhood leadership after becoming a mother and experiencing firsthand the challenges of finding quality childcare. That difficult experience with my son’s first childcare center inspired me to become a director—vowing to work tirelessly so that no other mother would have to endure what I did.

Eighteen years later, that passion burns stronger than ever. I continue to learn and grow each day, striving to create a nurturing, loving environment where children can thrive. My mission is to help the next generation grow in love, kindness, and faith—building strong relationships with themselves, with each other, and with God. I see every child who walks through our doors as one of my own, and I am committed to showing each one the same love and respect I give to my own child.

In my free time, I enjoy crafting, painting, reading, and spending time with my son.
