Over the past 12 years, I have had the opportunity to work at Primrose.

Starting about 6 months after college, I was hired as a toddler teacher at the Primrose School of Brentwood. Since then, I have been a support staff member, Early Preschool teacher, preschool teacher, Pre-kindergarten teacher and Kindergarten assistant.

After stepping out of my classroom roles, I became the Administrative Assistant, then continued to grow into the Director of Operations. I have had the opportunity to work under Amy James at two of her Primrose Schools.

I have grown to love the Primrose community and have gotten so close to not just the staff but also the families. My oldest started at 7 weeks and graduated from Primrose in 2022. My daughter now attends Primrose and is in an Early Preschool class.

It is such a blessing to be able to watch my littles grow and be able to attend such a wonderful Private Preschool. Being able to learn and grow as a teacher and now being able to see it from a parent’s perspective, has been one of the greatest gifts.

I feel this has made me a strong leader in our school and has shown me much gratitude for our Primrose community. I am honored to be offered the opportunity to become an owner where it all started for me at the Primrose School of Brentwood.

I cannot wait to spend the next chapter of my life partnering with other amazing owners and building a foundational community.
