I’m a professional learning and project management consultant for early childhood organizations.
My goal is to support early childhood organizations in continuous improvement. I provide professional learning to early childhood centers, ISDs and ESAs, and other organizations, customized to each group’s specific needs. I am also a skilled project manager and content developer, ensuring that ideas, plans, and projects move smoothly to launch day and beyond. I handle day-to-day management of process and workflow, and provide editing and writing services as needed.
