Hello! I am excited to serve as the Early Childhood Director for St. Louis County Schools.

I have worked in education since 2005 in a variety of roles, including tutor, teaching assistant, reading coach, substitute teacher, and classroom teacher. Since joining St. Louis County Schools in 2017, I have been part of the Early Childhood Department as both an ECFE Child Educator and Preschool Teacher. Early childhood has always been my favorite age group to work with, and I am honored to lead this department.

I believe that early learning provides a strong foundation for a child's future while also helping families build meaningful connections with their children, one another, and the community.

Originally from Texas, I graduated from Texas A&M University in College Station. Faith and family are at the heart of my life. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, caring for my chickens, reading, cooking, gardening, hiking, and crafting.

I am proud to be part of a district that values education from birth through 12th grade, and I look forward to partnering with our teachers, students, and families to support the youngest learners in our community.
