What is your favorite part about working with preschoolers?
I love watching how much they learn at this age. Children this age are like little sponges. 
Fun Fact:
I am a native Alaskan and I miss the beautiful Summers there. 
Favorite Children's Book:
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
Favorite Thing to Do Outside of Preschool:
Gardening and spending time with my family. I love being outdoors and finding the beauty in nature.

What is your favorite part about working with preschoolers?
I love how curious, happy, and full of wonder preschoolers are. I feel so lucky to be a part of their lives and to watch them grow, learn, and discover new things every day. The hugs and cuddles are definitely one of the best perks of the job! 
Fun Fact:
I was part of the first graduating class at Windsor High School! It feels pretty special to now be working in the same school district where I grew up. I also am fluent in German :-)
Favorite Children's Book:
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz
Favorite Thing to Do Outside of Preschool:
Outside of preschool, I love spending time with my husband and our 8-year-old son. We enjoy trivia nights, visiting local beer gardens, and going to festivals and community events together.
