Originally from Kansas City, Missouri, I discovered my passion for working with children in high school.  This led me to earn a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Park University, and later, a master’s degree in human development, with an emphasis in infant/toddler development from Pacific Oaks College.  Through the years, I’ve had opportunity to provide care to children in a variety of settings; Head Start/Early Head Start, private childcare, military childcare, and state preschool.  From these experiences, I’ve gained a love for the Head Start program, and it’s whole family approach to school readiness.  I’ve been a preschool and toddler teacher, mentor teacher/coach, and center director.  I’m a new member of Palomar’s child development department, and it’s been a joy to work with students around topics I’m so passionate about.

I’ve been in California for almost 15 years and I absolutely love the San Diego area.  Beach walks at the Oceanside beach are a favorite weekend activity, and exploring all San Diego has to offer.  If I’m not at the beach, or checking out local coffee shops, you can find me in the gym.  Lifting weights has been a lifelong pleasure.
