Ever since the age of 16 in South Salem, New York, I have been passionate about working with children and families. Alongside my sister, it was in this small town that I started a camp for kids in the community. This began my love of working with children. I was fortunate enough to land a teaching job out of college at Greenwich Academy. This is when I knew I had found my dream vocation. After four years in Connecticut, I moved to San Francisco and taught at two different schools before taking a number of years off to raise children. Coming back to the teaching profession after running a non-profit for families in need, I once again found my passion as a teacher.
After moving to Colorado and teaching in Boulder for the last ten years, I realized there is a significant need for parent support. With the increase in technology, neurodiverse challenges, the pandemic, and financial pressure on families, I have stepped away from the classroom to provide the support and resources that are crucial for parents.
