Professionally, I have been in the field of early childhood in a variety of capacities. I have worked in direct services with children (B to age 12), resource & referral services for parents, child care programming and administration, and the implementation of a parent education program. It is rewarding to work on behalf of the needs and rights of children, families, and educators.

I am passionate about teaching others about the importance and value of the early years, and have been fortunate to be part of this field for over 30 years.
