I am the founder and CEO of Atlantic Pacific Playgrounds, a WOSB-certified company delivering mission-critical playground solutions nationwide. My unique background combines military service as a naval officer with international logistics experience, 20+ years in education (teacher to principal), and the real-world perspective of raising 6 children. This diverse experience gives me deep insight into what children, families, and communities truly need from playground spaces. My military training ensures projects are executed with precision and on schedule, while my educational background helps create play environments that support child development and learning objectives. As a woman-owned business leader, I'm passionate about bringing fresh perspective and innovative solutions to an industry that has traditionally lacked diversity. We serve schools, municipalities, federal facilities, and commercial properties with the same mission-critical reliability I learned in military service.
