Classroom Support

With a rich background spanning corporate America and early childhood education, I bring a unique perspective to my role. My journey began in corporate America, where I gained invaluable experience in communication, writing and, presenting ideas, thereby fostering understanding and collaboration with my teams. Corporate environments can change rapidly, and this has given me the ability to be flexible and adaptable as challenges arise.

For four years, I have immersed myself in the nurturing environment and principles of the Reggio Emilia philosophy as an early childhood educator. My passion for education and child development led me to become a certified IB educator. I find immense joy in witnessing children flourish within the school environment, constantly seeking new ways to connect with each individual child. As a proud parent of two grown sons, who live in Denver, I appreciate the transformative power of education in shaping young minds. My career is driven by a deep passion for educating children and a genuine love for their development and well-being, and find immense joy in creating meaningful learning experiences. My journey is guided by a profound belief in the transformative power of education, where every interaction with a child is an opportunity to inspire, connect, and foster growth.
