I have had the pleasure of working with children for the past 15 years. Currently, and for the past 10 years, I work full-time at an elementary school. Prior to beginning this career, I spent many years as a gymnastics and tumbling instructor, summer camp/after school program director (including camps for children with special needs), and working part time at a Nanny Agency and Crisis Nursery. On a personal level, I reside with my husband and two small dogs.
