I started my career as a Preschool Teacher at C&M Play Studio while I was still in school. I was hired before Abby even opened the doors of her facility. During that time, I was so excited to start teaching, so I made myself an entire binder full of my children's contact information, lesson plans, meet the teacher, worksheets, etc. When I did this, Abby saw that I had a creative side. Organically, I became the Marketing Director after a year which is when I started to take marketing more seriously, and fell in love with it.
