I am thrilled to be the director at the Kelly Early Education Center. I can’t wait to meet you and your family and build lasting memories together.

A little about me: I am originally from Maryland and moved to Arizona to go to college. I graduated from the University of Arizona with a bachelor’s degree in Family Studies and Human Development. I was also a baton twirler in the marching band and would visit Casa de los Niños to perform and volunteer with the children. After college, I moved to Colorado and I recently moved back to Tucson to enjoy the amazing weather and community. 

I have an extensive background in early childhood as a teacher, manager, director and  supervisor. I have been in the early childhood field for over 25 years. Most recently, I was a deputy director for child care licensing in Colorado. I believe my education and experience will be valuable in this new position.

I have one daughter who attends Northern Arizona University. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and taking in all that Arizona has to offer. I hope to make a difference in you and your child’s life and to provide quality child care where your child can develop to their full potential in a safe and healthy environment.
