Course Writer Credentials

I bring over 30 years of experience as an educator in a wide range of roles, including early childhood teacher, parent educator, coordinator, trainer, manager, coach—and always, a fellow learner. I have worked across many systems and organizations, including private preschools, Early Childhood Family Education, Head Start, and the Minnesota Centers of Excellence for Young Children with Disabilities. I am currently a consultant with my business, Light and Learn, LLC. My mission is to be a trusted resource for those raising and teaching children during their most formative years.
