About Me
I have worked at the University of Mary since 2015. Prior to coming to Mary, I spent 15 years as an early childhood teacher and administrator. I have my Bachelor of Science in Elementary and Early Childhood from the University of Mary, my Master of Education degree from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, and my Doctor of Education from the University of Mary. My husband and I have four children, three of whom are Mary alumni, and one who is a current student here. We also have three grandchildren. In my spare time, I love to read, play Scrabble, go camping, and spend time with my family.
Why I’m At MaryI believe that early childhood is the most important time in a child’s life, and an early childhood education founded on Benedictine values will be life-changing.
