I have been part of the Learning Care family for 26 years and have always been passionate about early childhood education. I love supporting children as they learn, grow, and reach new milestones at every stage of development. It is incredibly rewarding to play a role in helping build the foundation for lifelong learning while partnering with families to create positive experiences for every child in our care.

I've worked in child care since 1984 and I've been with the company since 1986. I love being a part of the growth of the children. They even come back to visit me when they get older, and bring their children here. I'm a big sports lover, especially football.
