I've always loved working with kids at summer camps, preschool, and church events.  I earned my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and also my NH teaching certificate in 2011. I taught and nannied for a few years before my husband, Josh, and I started our own family (which grew to 4 kids!). I enjoy spending time with my family riding bikes, hiking, exploring, playing games, or just reading a good book.

I started teaching Tinkergarten in 2018, and I love watching kids grow and get excited about nature and engaged in the activities we do together. I've also enjoyed getting to know the families who participate as they come back year after year. I'm so grateful to help grow a community of families in the Alton area who are excited about being outside together!
