have had the privilege of working in Early Childhood Education for many years, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have spent the past several as a Lead Teacher here at Wander in Wonder. As I transition into the role of Education Coordinator, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to our community in a new capacity. I am deeply committed to fostering an environment where children can thrive and develop a lifelong love of learning. I believe that collaboration among teachers, parents, and children is key to creating supportive, engaging spaces and curriculum that cater to each individual’s unique needs. My passion lies in making a positive impact during these formative early years, and I am eager to grow and evolve further in my role as an educator. I was born and raised here in Portland, Oregon, and currently live with my loving boyfriend Skylar in the area. I enjoy cooking and baking, always experimenting with new recipes and sharing my creations with loved ones. I love to travel, and hope to have the opportunity to see and explore all the beauty and culture our world has to offer. I cherish spending quality time with friends and family, whether it's enjoying time at home or making memories on our latest outdoor adventure!
