Background
Human Resource Development, Early Childhood Education (ECE), Instructional Design
Experience
I began as a preschool teacher in a childcare center and continued to further my experience within that program as Assistant Director, Program Director, and Director of Preschool Development. I have been an ECE Associate Degree Program Director/Instructor, a PQAS Instructor, and a Keystone STARS Program Specialist prior to becoming a Program Quality Assessor. I also serve as a member of the A.W. Beattie Technical School ECE Advisory Board.
Fun Facts
My favorite season is summer. I enjoy the sun and the heat, playing in the dirt of the flower garden, floating in the pool, and especially trips to the beach. Crocheting, reading, and designing graphics are a few of my additional hobbies. I live with my husband, son, and our mini zoo of dogs, cats, fish, and chickens.
