    Onsite Owner
    I started my career here at the Goddard School in 2008 as a teacher, and then as director since 2015. I took over as the on-site owner in 2022 because I truly believe in not only the Goddard School name, but in the high quality education our specific teachers give to the students in our care. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Development, so I know how truly important it is to set a positive foundation of learning in the early years of childhood. As a proud mother of three children, and learning through their happiness and early development, I hold a high standard for the quality of education that is being delivered to our children. I believe that they should have the opportunity to explore every inch of their environment with no limit as to what they are able to discover, achieve, and aspire to be.

    I am so excited to be back as a part of the Goddard School Family! My career in early childhood education started right after I graduated from high school in 2001 and includes working at the Boardman Goddard School for several years. Early childhood education continues to be my passion today. I love teaching and helping children develop a sense of independence, pride in their work and an appreciation for the wonderful world around them. I live in Boardman with my husband, two daughters, and son. All three of my children are Goddard graduates! I look forward to spending time with your children and helping them discover the world!
