With over 25 years of experience leading before and after school programs, and master’s degree in youth work, she’s delivered training sessions at regional, state, and national conferences. Her focus on a child’s right to play sharpened when introduced to the Scottish National Play Policy on a trip to Scotland with the National AfterSchool Association in 2019, and participation in the 2023 IPA World Conference.
