Experienced and passionate educator with over three decades of experience. I currently serve as the Director of the Robert E. Simon Jr., Children's Center in Reston, Virginia.At the Simon Center, my personal philosophies and beliefs around early childhood development are reflected daily. Meeting children where they are and celebrating who they are. A strong believer in diversity in the classroom, I know that giving children the confidence to embrace their own personal strengths and weaknesses sets them up for success as they begin to navigate their school years.
