I have been the Center Director at TLE Chantilly for over 7 years. I have over 20 years experience in the field of Early Childhood Education. Prior to moving to Virginia, my family and I lived in New Hampshire where I worked with adults with developmental disabilities. My roots are in New England and I am a die hard New England sports fan.
