My journey as an advocate for nature-based early childhood education began in 2018 when I opened a Forest Preschool, fulfilling a long-held dream. Currently pursuing my Master of Education at Eastern Washington University, I am driven by a passion for excellence and a commitment to lifelong learning.
 

With a belief in emergent curriculum and hands-on, nature-centered learning, I am dedicated to fostering creativity and critical thinking in my students. I firmly believe that children thrive when connected to the natural world, and I am committed to providing enriching outdoor experiences that promote both physical and mental development.
 

In essence, I am passionate about empowering young learners, instilling a love for learning, and nurturing a deep appreciation for nature. Through my work as an educator and ongoing studies, I aim to make a positive impact in the lives of children and inspire a future generation of environmental stewards.
