“As a mom of 4, my days are full of serving, caring, teaching, and playing. I’m so inspired when I see their little “lightbulbs” turn on when they are experiencing or learning something new. I see the value of those experiences both inside and outside of the classroom and it is my goal to turn their education into a love of learning. That is the focus of the Children’s Museum. To come along side parents and teachers in this formative age and supplement the children’s learning in a play-centered way. I am the President of the Board of Directors and I have loved watching the Museum move from ideation to creation.”
