I’m very excited to join St Paul’s Childhood Center. I have a BAS in Early Childhood Studies from Metropolitan State University, and I have worked with young children for over 6 years. I learned about Reggio Emilia while working on my degree and I really like the communal approach to learning and integrating art into the daily curriculum. I believe that we are born with a natural desire to learn and it is the job of all adults to foster that desire. My favorite part of teaching is seeing that moment when everything just “clicks” for the child.

I have performed theater in the Twin Cities; play the piano, flute and sing; and I dance.  In my spare time I like to hang out with friends.
