Staff

I have a degree in Hospitality Administration from Metropolitan State College of Denver. My first career was managing restaurants and corporate training. I’ve lived in Tucson, Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Denver, transferring around with a company I worked for since college.

After my son was born, I realized that I wanted a more rewarding career; one that I’d dreamed about since I was a little girl. In 2001, I went back to college where I received my Master’s degree in Elementary Education from University of Phoenix. Most recently, I received my Colorado Principal License from Adams State University and completed the Buell Early Childhood Leadership Program at the University of Colorado Denver.

I began my career by teaching kindergarten. I taught kindergarten in Tucson, Arizona for six years. During the summer, I taught first and second grade summer school for English language learners. After I moved back to Montrose, I taught fifth grade in the Montrose school district for 2 years.

In 2011, I became a part of the Bright Beginnings and Maslow Academy family, teaching multi-age kindergarten through second grade.

In my spare time, I can usually be found with my wonderful family, riding bikes, enjoying sporting events, or cooking together. My son is amazing and I especially like to watch him play sports. He currently attends the United States Merchant Marine Academy, plays college football, and aspires to be a pilot in the Navy or Marines.

I was born in Montrose and lived here most of my childhood, moving away to Durango for my teenage years. I feel very privileged to have grown up in Colorado and on the Western Slope. There is nothing like the beautiful mountains and clean air to help a child grow up strong! That is why, after living for many years away, I have brought my son and husband back to live in my hometown. I am very glad to live here again and to share this amazing place with my family.

She graduated with a degree in Early Childhood Education in 2007. Daisy then went to the Philippines to serve for 10 years as a missionary. While in the Philippines, she worked at an orphanage for 5 years caring for abused and abandoned children. Then she worked at a pregnancy clinic for 2 years providing prenatal care and education for impoverished women.

After that, Daisy spent 3 years in the Philippines teaching preschool at an international school for the children of missionaries. Daisy then moved back to Colorado in 2017, settling in Montrose to be near family.

Early in 2018, Daisy was hired to join the staff at Maslow Academy and Bright Beginnings. During her time here at Maslow, Daisy has been the leader in three different toddler rooms as well as in the infant room. With continued education and training, she joined the administration team and took on the role of Infant/Toddler Supervisor in 2019.

Ms. Daisy is so thankful for the many years she has been given to work with young people. She delights in the everyday victories that the children around her achieve: taking a first step, mastering finger-painting, singing Twinkle Twinkle, counting to 10, writing their name, tying their shoe. Ms. Daisy is excited to continue to provide quality care and education to this community.

When Daisy is not at work, she enjoys good food, all movies, and traveling to new places. She is blessed to have close relationships with her parents, siblings/siblings-in-laws, nieces, a nephew, and beloved friends.
