Lead Teacher

I am a huge advocate for learning through play. I feel incredibly lucky to be at a school that is filled with so much joy!

I have taken every opportunity to work with children for as long as I can remember. I have always cherished the close relationships I've made with families.

I loved playing and learning with different children of so many ages and backgrounds when I worked at the Providence Children's Museum. I have explored different jobs in the field, but I always feel drawn back to the preschool environment.

I am my absolute best self around children. They are constantly encouraging me to grow in patience, kindness, openness, and curiosity. I love coming to work to play and laugh all day with my students - they are the funniest people in the world. 

Originally from Los Angeles, California, I currently live in West Philadelphia. I empathize with my students when they have big feelings about missing home and family. It is often hard to live so far away from my family in California. I'm grateful to PIC for quickly making me feel so at home!
