Trainer Credentials

I am a life-long learner who has spent the last two decades working with kids and families in an early learning environment. Passionate about reflective practice and human growth, I especially enjoy training on topics related to behavior guidance and educator growth and wellbeing. With a Master's in Early Education, I have the relevant education and experience to get granular with the why and how of early learning, rooted in research and best practices along with my own anecdotal experience as a practitioner. I am a hands-on trainer who invites participation of my training groups with active engagement, compelling content, and out-of-the-box activities. Continuing education is one of the keys to beating burnout and staying engaged in the field of early care and learning, why not make it fun and engaging too?
