I'm the Assistant Director here at TLE McKinney! I started my career with TLE as apart of the management team then moved to the Business Manager and now as the A.D. My family & I moved out here from California last year. My two year old daughter attends school every day with me. I'm so excited to be apart of this TLE team, I bring my 10+ years of Early Childhood Years with me! I have my associates in Early Childhood Education and I'm currently in the process of getting my Directors License. I believe that preschool education is crucial to a child's development and assists them greatly in their early years of schooling! I look forward to meeting you all & getting to watch your child grow with us!

"It takes a big heart to help shape little minds" I am originally from Long Island, NY and moved to Texas in July of 2013. I have my Bachelors Degree in Psychology and was working towards a Masters in Family Therapy when I had a change of heart and found my true passion. After being a stay at home mom to my four kids I started working at a preschool and have never looked back. My love with working with children brought me to TLE in 2019 and now I can truly say I have found my true passion. I hold my Lead Teacher Certification and I am in the process of receiving my CDA specializing in Infants & Toddlers. I love working with my babies because EVERY minute we spend together is an opportunity for learning!
