I teach our youngest Blue Devils in our Thrilling Three's program. 

Experience: 
This is my 4th year teaching preschool and 8th year working with Richmond Community Schools. 

Outside the Classroom: 
I grew up in the area and enjoy the small town community.  I have one son who is in sixth grade and another who is a future Blue Devil! 

I have worked with the Early Childhood Department for eight years and have a passion for helping young minds learn, grow and explore.

I want to welcome you to preschool, where our youngest learners come to shine bright in our classroom! It will be a year of magical wonder and amazing growth for your little star.

We are looking forward to working with you and your child as we teach them to reach for the stars. 

We believe that communication is the key to your child's success and to a great parent/teacher relationship. I encourage you to contact me if you have any questions or concerns at any time. We will also do our part at the end of each week by sending home Friday folders with newsletters and weekly class work.   

We will be outside as much as possible this year, so please provide proper clothing and shoes for the weather.

WE ARE EXCITED TO WORK WITH YOU AND YOUR CHILD.  TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!  YOU CAN HELP BY SENDING US WELL-RESTED CHILDREN WITH FULL TUMMIES AND A HUG AND KISS STILL FRESH ON THEIR MINDS.  THIS SETS THE STAGE FOR A LOVELY DAY.  WE UNDERSTAND THIS MAY BE THE FIRST TIME YOUR LITTLE ONE IS AWAY, FOR EVEN A LITTLE WHILE, BUT I PROMISE TO MAKE THEIR DAY WITH US AS WARM AND COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE. ♥

Hi, I have been working with Richmond for 7 years and preschool for two years. I love spending time with my family, my husband and my four dogs.  I love to do crafts and be creative.  My favorite color is pink, and my favorite holiday is Halloween.  I cannot wait to help our threes learn, play and grow!
