I began working at Creative Playrooms Parma Montessori in November 2002 as the center Director. With a B.A. in English from Kent State University and a minor in Early Childhood Education, I wanted to use my education and training to lead an early childhood educational facility to the best of my ability. Over the last 9 years, I have worked hard to ensure our facility met and exceeded ODJFS Licensing standards. My staff and I work extremely hard to make our facility a friendly, safe learning environment that the parents and children enjoy being part of.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my son, Johnny, 7, and my daughter, Avery, 4. I also am an active PTA member and Parma Chamber of Commerce member.

I began working at Creative Playrooms in 2000 as the West-side Spanish teacher and hired out of the Strongsville center. I enjoyed traveling and working with multiple centers and their staff. In 2001, I transferred to our Independence location and then to our Parma Center where I now call home. I started as a Preschool supervisor, then a before and after school supervisor and finally in 2006 was promoted to the Assistant Director. I am proud to be part of a team that continuously strives for improvement and success.
In my spare time I like to draw, paint, and take family vacations with my daughter and husband.
