I have taught Young Fives, elementary and special education in Michigan and Florida, as well as managing and directing at Camp Mirage for over 10 years!

I graduated with a bachelor's degree from Eastern Michigan University and have been at The Learning Express since 2016. I am married and enjoy being a mom to two daughters. When I’m not in the classroom, I like bike riding, music, reading, and spending time with family and friends at our cottage on Burt Lake! I truly enjoy helping young minds explore and grow by giving children control of the learning environment and nurturing their individuality through fun experiences!
