Meet Our Staff

I have owned and operated a Step Ahead Preschool & Childcare since it began in 1998.  I hold a degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood Ed., from Central Washington University.  As a mother and former Kindergarten Teacher, my goal is to provide children with a quality environment where learning is fun.  I am so proud to have a great staff that has helped me build this program.  We have touched the lives of many Treasure Valley children.  My husband and I are very fortunate to have two wonderful daughters an amazing son-in-law, and a granddaughter.  We are a busy family that enjoys traveling, skiing, boating and endless hours of family time.

I am very fortunate to have been with A Step Ahead for many years. This program has been a part of my life from a very young age and I am lucky to have the privilege of working with you and your children . I graduated from Boise State University in 2017 with a degree in business management and a minor in marketing. I live in Meridian with my husband Austin, and our daughter Brinley.  I am excited to be back in the office this year, please don’t hesitate to stop by and say hello!

After graduating from NNU in 1997 with an Elementary Ed. Degree and an endorsement in Early Childhood, I started teaching at a middle school in Marsing, Idaho.  Two short years later, I left the middle school life to begin teaching at A Step Ahead. I’ve never looked back.

Being a preschool teacher is my dream job. I enjoy seeing young students grow in a multitude of ways including academically, socially and artistically.

When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family.  With three out of four daughters married and grandkids starting to grow our family even bigger, I have a full schedule.  I spend my days camping, fishing, movie going, picnicking, reading, exploring and volunteering at my church.

What a privilege it is to teach at A Step Ahead Preschool.  After teaching second grade for two years, I joined our ASAP team in 2014.  I am married to an amazing soldier and we have two equally remarkable daughters…who keep us on our toes!  We love to spend time together camping, watching movies, reading books, and making projects.  Cheers to another great year at A Step Ahead!

I have been a teacher’s aide since 2015 here at A Step Ahead. I have loved working with other teachers and getting to know my students and their families.

I have a wonderful husband and 2 kids who love attending  A Step Ahead with me! We love to travel, be outdoors and spend time with our friends and family. My family brings me so much joy!

I look forward to many more great years ahead!

I have been with ASAP since 2019. I have enjoyed every minute of watching our students, (your kiddos) grow in so many ways! I love working with an amazing team. What a GREAT work family to be apart of when I’m not with my own family. I have an amazing husband and we have three AWESOME kids from 12 to 16 years old! We love family movie nights, going on camping trips and many other family fun adventures!

I began at A Step Ahead in July of 2019. I have always dreamed of being a teacher and after 15 years at Micron I decided it was time to make the dream a reality. I love working with the staff at A Step Ahead as well as the children, they have all made me feel welcomed and loved.

I married my best friend Cameron in 2005, we are both Idaho natives and love the outdoors. We love spending time fishing, hiking, camping and running with our two labs on many of the trials that Boise has to offer. I also enjoy volunteering at my church, teaching Sunday school, as well as cooking and quilting. 

I started working at A Step Ahead in April 2021. I have  loved getting to know all of the students and staff. I graduated from BYU Idaho  in 2017 with a  bachelors degree in elementary education. My dream job has always been to be a teacher. I love children and I love watching them grow and learn. I love that I can be apart of there lives.

I have an amazing husband and 2 cute kids.  A boy and a girl. I love being a mom and it’s nice that I can bring my little guy with me and see him thrive here at A Step Ahead. You can find my little family always outside. We love the green belt, the water, camping, hiking, and finding new places to explore.

I started working with A Step Ahead in 2021 as a teacher’s aide. My oldest son went to preschool here and absolutely loved it and flourished. Once he started public school I knew I wanted to get my youngest enrolled and be more involved in this amazing school. I love getting to know the students and creating those connections. It’s been amazing to watch these wonderful teachers help mold these little minds. I’m so grateful to be a part of this team.
