Originally from England, in 2009 I relocated to Ithaca through my husband’s company. We lived in Ithaca for 3 years before moving to Newfield in 2012 when we became American homeowners. Shortly after my arrival in Ithaca, I began working for the Cornell Child Care Center transferring to a local Ithaca non-for profit in 2011 where I had a dual role of coordinating and teaching in a pre-school class. I spent 6 years here before transferring to the Newfield School District as the Early Childhood Programs Coordinator in March 2017.
