Our Village Coordinator

Hey y’all! My name is Ali and first found FIT4MOM using the summer teacher pass. I moved here to Richmond in 2018 to be with my husband, Ben. We met at adult summer camp called Camp no Counselors and were doing long distance from Georgia to Virginia. We married in 2021 and have our son, Dominic, who is 2 and our daughter, Swayzie, who just turned 1. Prior to having children, I was a classroom teacher and taught pre-k, 1st, and 4th grade. I stopped teaching to be a stay at home mom when I found out I was pregnant with Dominic. Since taking time off from teaching, I tutor and still substitute teach. In the fall, I started teaching at VCU and I now teach early childhood education majors how to teach writing. I also am a student teacher advisor for VCU as well. I like to craft, laugh, do puzzles, read books, listen to podcasts, travel, and try new places. I look forward to using what I know about early childhood education to promote fun, engaging playgroups for our lil ones!
