M-F 8-5 and evenings/weekends as needed
In my nursing career, I have had the privilege of working clinically in Level 1 Trauma settings; doing HIV research; internationally in Thailand, Cambodia and Somalia; and with early learning programs in the Pacific Northwest. In the world of early learning, I have had the privilege of providing consultation to local programs, both large and very small; state and regional systems and trainings around child care health consultation; and national consultation around systems, quality, and training. I am in awe of the work that early learning does and consider it the most important job. I work in partnership with programs, consulting and coaching to help you achieve all that you wish to achieve.
