When I joined Launch in February of 2020 as the new Director of Operations, I had what I thought was a good idea of what to expect. After almost 20 years in the education field, I felt well-prepared to LAUNCH with Launch. But just a few weeks later, COVID-19 altered the landscape of education as we know it. 

The last 2 years with Launch have been transformative for myself professionally and personally, and I couldn't ask for a more supportive, challenging and dynamic work environment. The level of commitment our staff to serve all students is awe inspiring. The magnitude of love, instruction, care and empathy they give to Launch students and families reinforces how important programs like Launch are in the lives of our littlest learners. 

As the mom of my own four-year-old and a former preschool teacher, I know how challenging it can be to show up to work every day with a smile and a hug. Please join me in honoring the inspirational work Launch is doing to ensure we are truly LAUNCHING our students into a better future.
