If you’re looking for a speaker who understands both the business and the heart of running a preschool, you’re in the right place.

Speaking & Training for Leaders Who Get It

I speak directly to childcare owners and directors who are leading programs, managing staff, making tough decisions and often doing it all while trying to keep their own heads above water.

Whether you’re preparing to grow, stabilize, or sell your business, I bring strategy, clarity, and lived experience to the table delivered with warmth, candor, and just enough humor to keep it real.
