I am a passionate early childhood educator with over 15 years of experience working directly with preschool-aged children. For the past five years, I have led with heart and vision as the director of two highly respected early learning centers in Plano and Dallas, Texas. During that time, I oversaw the care and education of hundreds of children—primarily ages 6 weeks to 5—and guided teams of teachers with a focus on high standards, consistency, and connection.

My foundation in early childhood education began during my college years, where I studied ECE while also proudly serving as a collegiate cheerleader—a role that speaks to my natural enthusiasm, energy, and love for building community. My leadership style blends professional expertise with a deeply personal commitment to each child's well-being and success.

Launching Happy Heart Academy is the fulfillment of a long-time dream: to create a warm, intentional space where children are not only prepared for kindergarten, but also deeply cared for as whole individuals. With small class sizes, hands-on learning, and a heart-centered approach, I bring all of my experience and love for early education into every detail of the program.
