VP of Early Childhood Education
Having the privilege to help set the foundation for children’s early learning and development is one of the most rewarding aspects of my role. Seeing the happy faces of our youngest members each day as they learn and grow in a safe, nurturing environment brings me a sense of joy. I’m incredibly grateful to work for an organization that allows me to witness the positive impact it has on families within the community every day.
BH Learning Lane Childcare Director
Growing up with a mother who relied on YMCA childcare, I saw firsthand how vital these programs are to families. Over the years, I’ve gone from being a participant to volunteering, counseling, and stepping into leadership roles. The Y has given me the chance to impact others while discovering more about myself. I’m passionate about supporting youth, knowing our efforts today shape a better future. So many people have a Y story, and I hope to help make yours just as memorable as mine.
