MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I have a Master's degree in Professional Counseling, 13 years experience working with children and families, and have been working in in early intervention in a home and hospital based setting. I am also a certified Parents as Teachers parent educator.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Although my professional degree is in counseling, I quickly grew passionate in the field of early education after having my two year old son. So passionate, in fact, that I left the counseling field to work as a early intervention specialist at St. Louis Children's Hospital. When I'm not at the hospital working in the Raising St. Louis program, I am at home schooling my two year old son.
