Why KinderSystems?

I’m a firm believer in providing people the tools they need to focus on what they do best- and KinderSystems provides tools to help child care providers focus on the children.

Favorite Part of the job?

In my role I get to work with people in every role, in every department. I’m a true “people-person” and appreciate the opportunity to work with, and learn from, a smart team of leaders.

Outside the office?

My husband and I live in Denver, Colorado, so when we’re not working, we’re usually outside doing all the Colorado things: hiking, biking, snowboarding, skiing, paddle boarding. When we’re not outside I’m usually puttering around in my garden or kitchen, starting new projects (think knitting or puzzles or learning how to make spicy jam for cheese), or I’m reading. I also serve on the Board of our HOA and volunteer at a local non-profit organization, BookGive.
