I am the Principal of the Family Enrichment Program and have over 16 years of experience in teaching. My educational journey includes earning a Master of Arts in Education and a Master of Arts in Educational Leadership. I enjoy working with my team in creating rich and engaging activities for parents and their child/ren for home visits. I believe that all children can learn but must have the support of parents, schools, and community partners. I often remind parents that they are their child(ren) first teacher. Some of my hobbies include spending time with family and friends, binge watching on Netflix and dancing.

As a Parent Educator with the Family Enrichment Program, I support families expecting or raising children under age three. My journey with the program began as a participant, where I found crucial support for postpartum depression and guidance to reach personal and parenting goals. Inspired by my own experience, I am passionate about helping moms overcome challenges and build stronger family foundations. Now, with four years on the team, I’m grateful for the trust of the families I work with. Outside work, I enjoy crafting and designing personalized items.

In my spare time I like to spend time with my family and dog and do various crafting projects.
