My own childhood experience was wrought with neglect and sometimes violence, which is what ultimately set me on my journey of learning and healing to become a better parent for my own children. As the first member of my family to graduate from college, I majored in Communication and Early Childhood Development.

Before having children, I read every child development and parenting book I could get my hands on in an effort to fill the void of my own childhood experience. I became a certified Montessori Educator because I knew I needed a life-changing experience in order to provide the kind of guidance necessary to create the family I envisioned. I taught in the classroom until the birth of my first child, then made the decision to be a stay-at-home parent until my youngest was entering elementary school. Once both my children were in school full-time, I went back into the classroom.

For the next 20 years I worked as a Montessori Head Teacher, trained assistant teachers, worked with students of all ages, and had the honor of educating and supporting a multitude of children and their families, while also raising my own two children using Parenting on Purpose techniques. 

Looking to transition out of the classroom, I became a certified Parent Coach through the Jai Institute, taking the knowledge and experience I acquired in the classroom to continue my love of educating and supporting families.

I am so grateful for this experience, because I know that without seeking support to counter-act the parenting I grew up with, I would not have been able to create the two amazing adult children I have now.
