It has always been a dream of hers to have her own preschool facility after graduating. In 2015, she opened her own child care facility in Hillsboro. In 2019, she relocated and opened doors to our current Preschool Program here in Beaverton! She is very passionate about helping children and teaching them new things. Her favorite part about working with children is listening to their jokes.
In her free time she loves playing volleyball and hanging out with her husband and 2 children.
