I started Play & Learn Insights after spending more than a decade in early childhood classrooms, working closely with children, families, and other educators. Teaching gave me firsthand insight into child development, play, and learning in action. It also sparked a desire to help shape better experiences for kids beyond the classroom. 

​

Today, I bring that child development perspective into my work with product teams, leading child-centered research and collaborating closely to turn insights into experiences that feel engaging, intuitive, and genuinely supportive of children and families. My clients and collaborations include startups and global brands alike, all united by a shared goal: to create experiences that engage and help children learn through play. 

​

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me at the beach or at the park, recharging and watching how my toddler naturally explores, experiments, and plays!
