I also have a master's certificate in Emergent Inquiry in Early Education which means I specialize in the emergent curriculum that was influenced by Reggio Emilia in Italy.

My favorite things to do are to laugh, hike, cook and eat and if I can do that with my three children that I have raised then I call that a great amazing day.
