My journey to UCSB ECCES includes growing up near Chicago and attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the University of California, Santa Barbara, and then receiving a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Teaching from National-Louis University in Chicago. My employment experiences range from work in Advertising and Marketing to Teaching in preschool and Kindergarten. My heart has always been working in Early Childhood settings in order to advocate for our youngest learners and families. My greatest joys include spending time with family, nature walks and photography.
