Lead Director of Admissions

Education

I earned my BA in Communication Studies from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro and my Early Childhood Teaching Credential from The Montessori Teacher Education Center in Sunnyvale, CA.

Experience

I worked as an Advertising Executive for two amazing Bay Area radio stations, KKSF-103.7 and Alice 97.3. After radio, I transitioned into Silicon Valley Start-Up’s selling innovative Digital Media strategies to Advertisers and Advertising Agencies across the country. Once I had my son, I started realizing I had a passion for education, so I earned my Early Childhood Teaching Credential then spent the last 6 years at The Montessori School of Linda Mar in Pacifica, CA. Wanting to stay in education, but also needing more adult interaction in my life, I found the perfect balance at Fusion Academy.

Fun Facts and Hobbies

  • I love spending time playing with my 9-year-old son and 5-year-old dictator, err, I mean daughter. We love making up silly games like “Fire Breathing Mommy Dragon”, “Can’t Catch Me I’m the Mommy Bread Man”, “How Fast Can You Clean Your Room”, and a true family favorite, “Who Can Match the Most Socks”
  • I also love hosting parties, especially ones with karaoke!
