and I have had the privilege to work in Early Childhood Education for over 22 years. I adore children, and I have a passion for seeing every child thrive into the best possible version of whom they were created to be, and I believe this starts in high-quality Early Childhood Education. I started in this career as a nanny, classroom teacher, and in-home childcare provider. Later in my career, I was promoted to Education Coordinator, Assistant Director, and Director in Training, Center Director, and Director of Operations. I currently have my associate in early childhood education from Northern Virginia Community College and I have my BA in Organizational Leadership at Liberty University. I am Director Qualified in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and Florida. I'm also a mom to three teenage boys and married to the love of my life.
