I began working with infants and toddlers in the fall of 2006.  I currently have an associate’s degree in early childhood education and I am still in school, working toward a bachelor’s degree.  When I became a teacher, I realized quickly that I was passionate about creating a trusting, reciprocal relationship with each family.  Working in an environment that intentionally and purposefully fosters a child’s sense of joy and wonder is important to me.  FitKids has provided that as well as the tools and motivation needed to grow continuously as a teacher.  Here I feel a sense of purpose in what I do, and I love that.  When I am not at FitKids, I am enjoying time with my husband and three daughters.  I also like to hike, swim, play softball, read, write, and sing.
