During her time as a youth mentor and educator she has had the privilege to work closely with children ages 3 – 16 and during that time she found one fundamental truth that rings true for every child, no matter their age… they LOVE to play!

She has led youth reading and enrichment programs for ages 5 – 11 and has spent many enjoyable years as a PE instructor, Library Media Specialist, and SEL Youth Mentor for low income families. I have had the honor of helping thousands of children find confidence in their current strengths and abilities.
