I'm so excited to be part of The Treehouse community where I can continue to grow as an educator! I was born and raised in Milwaukie, Oregon, and have lived here my whole life. I truly believe every child deserves access to a warm, welcoming, and high-quality education. I'm passionate about making a positive difference in children's lives, building strong connections with families, and bringing fun, creativity, and positivity into the classroom every day.

​

I've been working in early childhood education since Summer 2023 and have experience as an assistant preschool teacher, substitute teacher, and educator. I'm so grateful to have spent the summers at The Treehouse since June 2025, where I've continued to grow as an educator and build meaningful relationships with children and families. I recently graduated from the University of Oregon with a Bachelor of Science in Educational Foundations. This fall, I'll be continuing my education at Portland State University, where I'll be pursuing my Master's degree in Elementary Education.

​

In addition to my professional experience, I've spent the past 10 years babysitting and nannying, working with children from infancy through elementary school. These experiences have helped shape my deep love for working with children and my passion for creating environments where every child feels supported, valued, and encouraged to learn.

​

Outside of teaching, I love spending time with my family and friends, babysitting, cooking, traveling, and exploring nature. I also enjoy spending time with my pets and finding new ways to stay creative and active. I'm always happiest when I'm surrounded by the people and things I love!
