Profile

I love playing sports and being competitive, especially in soccer, volleyball, and basketball.  I also play the violin and give violin lessons.  I am currently in a small band called Still Life.  I love being around kids, especially my niece and two nephews.  My husband and I love camping up north.

Experience

I think my previous three positions have led me to DE.  I was an office assistant, a resident advocate working with kids with autism, and an assistant preschool teacher.  As an administrative assistant, I get to work in the office surrounded with kids!  DE’s passion for helping children reach their full potential through a quality developmental perspective is what attracted me to this position.
