Let’s launch their lifelong love of learning together. Contact us to visit Celebree School of Cockeysville!
I have been with Celebree Schools since July of 2012. I have over 25 years of experience in early childhood education with 13 of those years being at Celebree. My journey began with a love for watching children learn, grow, and discover the world around them. That same passion has grown to include supporting and mentoring others in their careers in Early Childhood Education.
I chose to join Celebree after consistently hearing great things about its culture and commitment to quality education and it has been one of the best decisions of my professional life. I started as an assistant director, moved into a school director role and now I am a District Director.
In my current role, my focus is to support our schools in growing people big and small. I’m passionate about coaching the teams, sharing my knowledge, and creating strong, supportive environments where both staff and children can reach their fullest potential.
I’ve been in different sectors of education for over 25 years and hold a degree in Early Childhood Education. My main focus has been curriculum and supporting children and families along the way. I’ve worked closely with McGraw Hill supporting school districts with Universal Design for Learning and Blended Learning.
I joined Celebree School as a School Director because I truly believe in the “Whole Child” and using “Conscience Discipline” to help children calm their minds. I appreciated the support of teachers and making sure they are acknowledged and how they can focus on the pathway to excel.
Some facts about me are that I’ve lived in Maryland all my life and have three children and grandchildren. I enjoy time my family and lover to travel. My favorite quote is: “If you give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day. If you teach him how to fish, he’ll eat for a lifetime.” I truly believe if you give children life skills and tools they will thrive.
I have been with Celebree School since July 2025 and started at the Cockeysville location in mid-August 2025. I have been working with children and families for most of my adult life. I started as a social worker working in the foster care system and then moved on to Early Head Start and the Forebush School. I stayed home with my own children until I became a preschool teacher in 2009.
