I am early childhood educator and director with 25 + years experience in Westlake Hills (1991). I

am adept at maintaining a professional relationship with students, parents, teachers and licensing

agencies. I am skilled in all aspects of running a successful Texas State licensed, NAEYC Accredited

and Texas Rising Star certified child development center. My work ethic includes working well as

both a team player and independently, following and implementing directives from supervisors, and

an avid desire to be a lifelong learner. I view myself as a developmentalist, with an appreciation of

child development, science, art, nature and hands on learning. I want all children to be valued and to

have the experience of exploring their own interests including nature, trees and playing in the mud

and dirt.
