My most favorite things are my family, my career as a pediatric occupational therapist, children, and music.  The creation of Ivy League Developmental Products, LLC has allowed me to combine all of these wonderful things.  I get to spend more time with my husband, as he helps to record Love Notes^© by singing and playing the piano.  I get to spend more time with my two daughters ages six and three as they are my guinea pigs. I test all of my ideas, techniques and products on them first. Teaching classes and doing baby massage allows me plenty of time with lots of adorable little children, and I am constantly using music in everything that I do.

I graduated from College Misericordia with a BS in Occupational Therapy in 1995.  I worked with patients with brain injury at two different rehab facilities. I have also worked as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist in Scranton, Hershey, Reading, and Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Bastrop, Louisiana, Brooklyn, NY, and my hometown of Lititz, Pennsylvania, over the past several years. Between working in brain injury remediation and working with children with developmental delay, I have learned a great deal about brain functioning. My experience in the field paired with hours and hours of research and close observation of my own children's development has given me the foundation for creating my developmental programs. I attained my Baby's First Massage Certification in October of 2003 and began working at the Heart of Lancaster Regional Health Center teaching baby massage to all new parents in August of 2004.

I teach Love Notes^© classes in six week sessions to children and caregivers in a group setting, I also teach several parenting classes on early childhood development, and baby massage instruction at the hospital and throughout the community of Lititz. Please refer to my classes and community events page for my schedule.
