The trees, mountains, and Puget Sound immediately felt like home. Moving frequently taught her to adapt to new environments and build meaningful connections. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family, relaxing at home, playing with her kitties, gardening, and lounging in her hammock. Her professional journey with children began in 2001, when she started as an assistant teacher in a waddler classroom. What started as a one-year plan soon became a lasting career in early childhood education. Her teaching approach is grounded in love, respect, compassion, and forgiveness. She believes children learn best in safe, welcoming, and inclusive environments where they feel valued and encouraged to explore. Through positive guidance, she nurtures their curiosity, confidence, independence, and self-regulation skills. She honors diverse cultures, family structures, abilities, and traditions while building trusting partnerships. By listening with empathy and responding to each child’s individual needs, she strives to create a classroom where every child feels safe, supported, and inspired to develop a lifelong love of learning.</image:caption>
