Meet our Preschool Educators

When my husband and I relocated to Virginia 10 years ago, it was important to us to find a safe place to send our children. We wanted them to be loved and cared for, but we also wanted them to grow, learn, and have a lot of fun! Winwood offered all of this for our family and it has also been a great place to work for the past 9 years. Both my son and a daughter grew tremendously thanks to Winwood’s wonderful programs.

I started as a three’s teacher in our Lansdowne location and then transferred to South Riding as the Assistant Director. Since then, I have worked as part of the management teams for South Riding, Lansdowne, and Brambleton. I have been at this location since March 2014 and will be celebrating my 10th year with Cadence this June. I have a BA in liberal studies with an emphasis in writing and literature, and have been in the education field for 20+years.

I am super excited to join the management team at Winwood Brambleton as your Assistant Director! I currently have my AA degree in Early Childhood Education and have over 25 years of experience in early childhood education. I also have 10 years' experience in management.

Working with children has always been a passion for me. I love to watch them learn and grow and being a part of that. It excites me to see all of the new little things they do each day. I also love working with the parents and appreciate the trust they instill in me each day to care for their little ones. It is a pleasure each day for me to get up and go to work.

I live in Manassas, VA, where I was born and raised. I have loved coming back to the area so that I'm able to be closer to my family, especially my niece and nephews. In my free time I love to read, spend time with family and friends, and be outdoors fishing, where I can be around the water or taking a nice long walk.
