Bio

The oldest daughter in my family and a nurturer by nature, I have always enjoyed helping children discover the world around them. Married for 45 years to my high school sweetheart Joe, we have three grown children and 6 grandchildren. Early childhood education has been my focus since my own children were little and I have worked with young children in a preschool setting since 1993 as a teacher and director at the preschool at her parish in Coral Springs, FL before moving to Illinois in 2001. There I was director of all the child and youth programming at her parish. I feel blessed to be back in South Florida and back to my roots with the preschool-aged children here at St. Paul’s Day School and knew it was the right place to be from the very start! With the retirement of beloved director Patti Daniell, I became the third director in the school’s 60 year history! “This is a very special place! Children know they are loved and valued the minute they walk through the door!”
