It mattered for the welfare of our students, but it also mattered for the welfare of our teachers. So, this is where the journey began.

Changing lives through education has been my passion and calling for over 35 years. Four years ago an exciting opportunity came my way when I worked with a team to develop a new early learning school model for my district.
