INTERIM GREENHOUSE CO-DIRECTOR | she/her


Breakdown of your title: 

I help plan, set up & execute all the fun Sunday morning Greenhouse happenings!


What do you want people to know about you?

I am a family girl! I’m a mom to 3 amazing kiddos (ages 7, 7, and 9.) Yes, it was a lot of kids in a small period of time :) So I have a lot of experience with children of all ages. Our family loves to go on any kind of outdoor adventure. I’m a 2, so I GIVE GIVE GIVE until there’s nothing left in me. I love all people, all the time. In a big way!


What’s your favorite/most inspiring part of your job?

Meeting new families with children. It’s a BIG DEAL to drop a child off for the first time in an unknown space. I get a lot of joy out of being the first person that a new family meets. Building a trusting first impression is very important to me.

Interesting Facts:

If I could invent a holiday, it would definitely involve adults acting like kids ALL DAY LONG. Laughing, snacks, water games, bike rides, snacks, trampolines, pogo sticks, more snacks, and dodgeball would all be required. Did I say snacks?

 

My favorite word in the English language is Bumfuzzle. (It means confused.) “I am so bumfuzzled right now.” Hahahah!
