I am a proud Michigan native, born in Flint and raised in Flushing. After spending 15 years in the Lansing area, I am now based in Howell and am excited to join the Stepping Stones Montessori community as a Primary Lead.
I hold an Early Childhood Credential from the American Montessori Society and a Bachelor of Marketing Management from Northwood University. With four years of experience in an authentic Montessori school, including two years as a Primary Lead Teacher, I bring a deep passion for guiding and inspiring young learners. My background in human resources enriches my ability to build strong teams and communities, but my focus and love remain centered on supporting children’s growth.
As a dedicated educator, I am committed to nurturing dynamic and supportive classroom environments. I strive to help every child reach their potential by:
– Crafting and implementing age-appropriate lesson plans
– Building vibrant, inclusive classroom communities
– Supporting young learners with individualized attention and positive guidance
– Maintaining open, collaborative communication with families and colleagues
Outside of my professional life, I cherish traveling and sharing adventures with my husband and two children, Rylan (11) and Regan (9). Whether we are exploring new places or enjoying simple moments together, I love creating lasting memories through discovery, togetherness, and family experiences.
