In 1998, I started working as a Teacher’s Aide in a preschool classroom and figured out pretty soon afterward that early education is my passion. I obtained an AA degree from St. Paul College and then went back and got a BA in Child Development Studies/Child Psychology from Metro State University. In June of 2013, I started working here at SPCC and discovered a community of people who value exploration, discovery and creativity-- in short, I finally found my people! I am a coffee enthusiast which gives me lots of energy for my passions which include reading, singing, going for walks, spending quality time with friends and family.
