Heidi and her husband relocated from upstate New York in 2001 and joined the St. Francis community later that year. Heidi not only has a background in education, but also in speech-language pathology. Her twins are alumni of the preschool and she joined the staff in 2010 as a teaching assistant while also working as a pediatric speech therapist. Before becoming director, Heidi was a teacher in one of the 3-year old classes. She feels blessed to be able to work with children, to serve with caring staff, and to worship all in one place. She hopes to share her passion and commitment to the children and families of the preschool with the whole church community. Heidi is excited to combine her education and therapy knowledge in her role as director of the preschool.
