Growing up in Southeast Missouri, I was always putting on a show. Whether it was a skit, a little showcase for my family, or finding any excuse to perform, that spark was there long before I ever picked up a set of poms. I started cheering in middle school and cheered my way through college. I loved the energy and excitement, but what stayed with me most was the confidence, friendships, and sense of belonging that came with being part of a team.

My heart for education started at home. My younger brother needed Early Intervention, and watching his journey showed me just how much the right support can change a child's life. From an early age, I knew helping children learn, grow, and feel successful was where my heart belonged. That calling led me to education, with an emphasis in special education, and more than 13 years of teaching and working with children.

Little Spirit Co. brings those two pieces of my heart together. It's a place for little ones to move, cheer, learn new skills, encourage their friends, and grow in confidence while feeling welcomed and celebrated.

By bringing enrichment directly to the places children already learn and grow, Little Spirit Co. makes things a little easier for families while giving children the chance to leave class standing a little taller and feeling awfully proud of themselves.
