I have been involved with the early childhood profession for over 20 years, as the owner and educator of a 5 STAR home-based program. I was the first in the state to obtain STARS. Providing support to early care and learning professionals, I am an instructor, a PD specialist for the Council of Professional Recognition, a qualified observer for Northern Lights Career Ladder and a member of the VtAEYC board. I was recognized as an Early Childhood Super Hero in 2016 and also received the 2016 VTAEYC Magnificent Mentor award while a VB5 mentor. I continue to provide early childhood care and learning in my home and work with Vermont Birth to Five as a Community and Program Specialist.
