I love providing a safe place for families to bring their children, staff to work and giving back to the community!

I have worked at Wild About Kidz since September 2014! Gaining my CDA in February of 2019. When Ivy Pointe opened in 2021 I moved to this location to be an Admin. I have experience working with all age groups but my favorite is School Age, I know I'm crazy. I take a lot of pride in my job and making sure every child and family feels welcome in our facility.
