About

With a robust background in early childhood education and leadership, I have dedicated over 17 years as the Owner and Director of Lion’s Den DaySchool. My role involved supervising a team, managing daily operations, and ensuring compliance with state regulations. I adeptly handled financial management using QuickBooks and enhanced communication through Microsoft Office tools. My commitment to professional development is evident from my participation in the Louisiana Department of Education Leadership Program, a selective fellowship aimed at refining leadership skills. Additionally, as an Advisory Member for GoNapSacc, I contributed to the development of workplace tools and resources. I hold a Louisiana Early Childhood Ancillary Certificate and am a Certified CLASS Observer through TEACHSTONE, specializing in infant to PreK-3rd education. My career is marked by a dedication to improving operational efficiency and fostering community collaborations for enhanced educational outcomes.
