I believe that all children are unique and deserve a high-quality ​education. All children should be provided with a learning ​environment that is bright, enriching, motivating, and engaging so ​that they can thrive and learn through play. As a preschool ​teacher, it is my goal to provide students a space where they feel ​welcome, safe, and cared for. I believe in building and developing ​positive relationships with my students, their families, and our ​community for the benefit of each child’s wellbeing.

I started working for TWP in 2005. I am now a long term sub for TWP. I have loved working with children since I was a very young age. When I moved here in 1985 I started working as a preschool assistant. Children see the world with no color, no race, their laughter is contagious, their smile is heartwarming. When they call your name to help is the best thing a Teacher could hear from them. At the end of the day when they wish to give you a hug or high five because they had an awesome day  makes each day worth it. I wouldn't choose to do anything else.
