ABOUT ME

I entered the professional workforce through service as an Americorps (Minnesota Reading Corps) member. I then transitioned into Montessori education and was a lead teacher for eight years. In my most recent role, I was managing a classroom full-time and was also the main content developer for the school. I found a love of social media marketing and communications, and am excited to transition into the marketing field.

I believe my purpose in life is to be of service to others. For the past 10 years, I have encouraged my passion for service in the early childhood education realm. I spent two years as an Americorps literacy tutor in a low-income public preschool, then followed my roots as a Montessori student to the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) training at the Montessori Center of Minnesota. I graduated as an M.A. Ed. from St. Catherine University the following year. During the year of intensive Montessori training, I worked in a low-income Montessori school. I transitioned to a new school and spent six years there as a lead teacher. At that school, I not only honed my craft as an educator, but also learned invaluable marketing skills. I took over the social media campaigns (Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn), and wrote newsletters, informative messages, and presented parent workshops. I am looking forward to working more in the nonprofit realm.

I am excited to begin in the marketing/communications space. I am open to start work immediately.
