I have been teaching at Heritage Presbyterian Preschool since 2012 and I feel so blessed to have
the opportunity to work in such a friendly and supportive environment. I have lived here in
Mason most of my life and both of my sons are HPP graduates. I earned my Bachelor's Degree
from the University of Cincinnati and have had the opportunity to work with children in various
settings over the years. I love working with young children and watching them learn and grow. I think that we can also learn a lot from the way they see the world. In my free time I enjoy hiking,
biking, reading, cooking and spending time with my family and friends.
