With a rich and diverse career spanning over 40 years, I have dedicated my professional life to supporting parents and enhancing the quality of childcare and parenting practices. Since the time I was in kindergarten, my dream was to be a teacher. My journey began with a deep passion for early care, which led me to a degree in early childhood education and roles such as an early care educator, childcare resource and referral director, quality enhancement consultant, trainer, public speaker, podcaster, author, and content creator.

As an entrepreneur, I have successfully owned and operated over five businesses focused on childcare and parenting, My extensive experience in the non-profit sector as a child advocate has equipped me with unique insights into the challenges parents face and the solutions that can make a real difference.

Additionally, as a social media influencer focusing on common sense parenting, and highlighting behavior management, I have amassed a following of over 385,000+ sharing practical advice and support with a wide audience. In this role, I advocate for effective common sense parenting strategies reflecting my lifelong dedication to empowering parents and improving the lives of families.
