Preschool & Daycare Director
I absolutely LOVE working with children and their families! I am so excited for this journey at Noah’s Ark.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Saginaw Valley State University and an Associates degree in Early Childhood Education from Mott Community College. I first began my early childhood career here, at Noah’s Ark, in 2002. In 2011 I made a switch to CCDC to help further my career; I was a lead teacher for 5 years and the Assistant Director for 2 years. I have been back at Noah’s Ark as director since 2019. I have experience working with children of all ages, but have an extra passion for PreK and school agers.
I was born and raised in Owosso and graduated from OHS in 2001. In high school and college I competed on the track and field team in the throwing events. I earned All-American honors for the indoor shot put in the NCAA Division II Championships.
I raised my niece, Molly, who is now attending SVSU and also works here in the infant rooms. I enjoy live music, games with friends, enjoying a pipe or cigar, arts and crafts in various forms, and learning new things. I also like to try new foods from other cultures, laugh at spooky movies, and cuddle with my cats, Mylee and Margot. I have a movie quote or song lyric for any occasion and I enjoy making people laugh.
