I have been married for over 30 years and I have three grown children, three grandchildren, two dogs, and five turtles. I have over 20 years experience working in the childcare industry with 17 of those years being a director. I have a BBA in Marketing from the University of Houston at Clear Lake and I am certified in EC-6th grade. I have worked at Primrose for the Arthur’s for 7 years now and I am looking forward to continue working at Primrose for years to come. When I first came to Primrose, I was extremely impressed with the curriculum and programing. It was so much more than a daycare! I could not be more proud to provide such an amazing program for children in our community!

I have 14 years’ experience in childcare and 11 of those years are with Primrose Schools. I started off as an Infant teacher then spent a year in the toddler room.
