I’ve been lucky to call Sprout home since 2013 and have had the opportunity to serve in many different roles over the years. What I love most about this work is getting to know families and being part of those everyday moments where learning begins. I’m also grateful to work alongside such a caring and dedicated team that truly believes in supporting children and families. When I’m not at Sprout, my favorite place to be is outside. I love gardening, hiking, biking, ice skating, and spending time around a campfire with family and friends. I believe there’s something pretty special about fresh air and having the freedom to explore, whether you’re a little one discovering the world or a grown-up who just needs some time outside. I love all that Alaska has to offer, but those long, warm summer days will always be my favorite.
