Autumn grew up in Lake Travis and found her passion for working with children at a young age while helping in the children's ministry at church and through babysitting. Her career began as a Preschool teacher while attending Texas State University for Early Childhood Education. Her love for teaching preschool continued to flourish for 10 years while furthering her education in child development. Since obtaining her Texas Directors License, she has been mentoring her staff as a director for 13 years. Her time both as a teacher and a director has helped shape her vision for children's education. She believes that children learn best when they are hands-on and engaged in activities and encourages her teachers to use a similar approach in their classrooms. She loves Kiddie Academy's approach of cultivating children in a well-rounded way, beyond simply focusing on academics. Outside of work Autumn loves spending time with her son and family. Together, they enjoy being outside, hiking, swimming, and connecting with her community.
