About Me

I received my teaching credentials for Early Childhood Education and passionately taught in a preschool classroom for 6 amazing years. I've enjoyed nurturing, educating, loving, and creating. In May of 2022, I was diagnosed with cancer. My world came to a screeching halt and I dove headfirst into treatment. I received extensive chemotherapy as well as a stem cell transplant. Currently, I'm doing wonderfully, however, my treatment continues. While away from the classroom my heart ached because I was no longer able to contribute to the joy of children, so I decided to combine my passions for education, children's advocacy, and illustration. I published my first children's book ‘Just As I Am!: Loving Affirmations For Mindful Living’. I hope to continue releasing books and other supportive materials for families, classrooms, and communities. While working with local businesses on marketing and branding I help to develop deep roots and rich relationships. My dream is to create a safe space for children and other community members that allows them to thrive.
