Early education lays the foundation for an individual’s life and I am devoted to providing high-quality learning experiences for all our children. I hold a Master’s in Education from University of Washington as well as a Master’s degree in Economics from Pune University, India. With over 10 years of professional experience as a teacher, I have taught in diverse educational systems and hope to best practices from each to Interlake.



Executive Director

I am very excited to have the opportunity to be a part of the Interlake community! Working with young people is my passion and I am looking forward to supporting this program and helping to provide an environment of learning and fun where everyone belongs. I earned my teaching certificate from Western Washington University, and my Master’s in Urban Environmental Education from Antioch University, Seattle. I have over seven years of experience as an educator in different capacities.

Assistant Executive Director

I grew up in St. Louis and later attended a small liberal arts school, Drury University. After graduating with a B.A. in Theatre, I moved to Seattle and discovered this wonderful community. Interlake has been my home away from home for nearly seven years, and for that I am deeply appreciative. I also midnight as a stage manager with various theatres in the Seattle area. When not at school, I’m often at rehearsal, searching for the next show, or taking a cat nap with my kitties, Draco and Kåre.

Operations Manager & Enrollment Coordinator

I have several college classes in Early Childhood Education and Nutrition science from North Seattle College and completed an AAS in Accounting in 2013 from Kaplan University; I spent 6 years working in all classrooms as teaching staff while attending night classes. My interest in cooking and baking began with a child’s cookbook and peanut butter cookies. My mother remembers losing her shelled peanuts because I unshelled them and put them in the blender to make peanut butter (without asking!).

LegUp site did not allow me to submit my request for the tour. I had to reach out directly to Interlake Childcare Center for help with scheduling the appointment and receiving the link, and they were very helpful with this.
