Background
I hold a master’s degree in Multicultural Education.

Experience
I started with the Pennsylvania Key Program Quality Assessment team in 2019. I enjoy working with our team and enjoy being able to build relationships with early childhood programs. Learning about different program observation instruments has been an important piece of my work supporting programs. I have worked in the early childhood education field for 20 years in different positions – teacher, director, and Keystone STARS specialist.

Fun Facts
In warm weather, I enjoy taking a walk outdoors, visiting different gardens, and learning about plants and flowers. I also like photography and enjoy taking pictures.
