I am a lifelong resident of Fort Wayne and have owned and operated a successful childcare business & assisted in the education of young children and youth of all abilities for over 27 years. I have an array of professional roles from business owner, teacher, supervisor and now program director. I obtained my Associate degree in early childhood education from Ivy Tech and Master's degree in organizational leadership from Indiana Tech. When I am away from this wonderful program, I enjoy spending time with family and traveling to new places.

I am so happy to be a part of the FGP team! This role for me combines my two professional passions: helping seniors and children! I have an Associate’s degree in Recreation Management and a Bachelor’s degree in recreational therapy from Indiana Tech, as well as an Activity Director certification. Previously, I worked with seniors at our sponsor, Lutheran Life Villages, as an Activity Coordinator and a CNA. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, crafting, and spending time with my family and wonderful fiancé!
