A little bit about me

Hi, I have been a Certified Child Life Specialist for over twenty years working in a variety of settings including homes, a pediatric hospital and an after-school community center. I am comfortable and confident working with children from birth until adulthood. I have a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Family Relations. I am also a mother to three teenagers and an aunt to thirty nieces and nephews. I love utilizing play and meeting kids where they are in their growth and developemnt and helping them reach their milestones. I have worked with children my entire life in some capacity whether that is babysitting, coaching, or providing care in pediatric settings.

It’s important to me that kids have opportunities to play, learn and grow in a safe, trusting environment. I believe strongly in the importance of positive and nurturing relationships to best meet the child’s needs as they grow and develop.
