About Me
I have worked at the University of Mary since 2015 and came to TRIO after serving seven years in the graduate admissions office. Prior to coming to the University of Mary, I spent 15 years as an early childhood teacher and administrator. I have my Bachelor’s in Elementary and Early Childhood from the University of Mary, and my master of education degree from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ. I am currently enrolled in the Doctor of Education program at the University of Mary. My husband and I have four children, three of whom are Mary alumni and one who is a current student here. We also have two grandchildren.
In our spare time, I love to read, play Scrabble, go camping, and spend time with my family.
Why I’m At MaryI believe that early childhood is the most important time in a child’s life, and an early childhood education founded on Benedictine values will be life-changing.
