Early Childhood Coordinator
Wenatchee School District

I am the Early Childhood Coordinator for Wenatchee School District. I am proud to be part of a school that intentionally includes all children. The teamwork among staff and teachers is phenomenal and I am honored to be a part of this work! Previous to this role, I was a special education teacher for 16 years. I worked in many different settings and with a variety of age groups. The early childhood ages are my FAVORITE! The amount of growth a child can make in a relatively short amount of time is amazing to witness.
