Miriam began her career in early childhood over ten years ago working as a CIT in a preschool program. What was a short term summer job turned into a lifelong career in Jewish Education. Miriam has taught in both preschool and religious school settings. This has set her up to take on her newest role as Assistant Director of Early Childhood Education.

Miriam holds her CDA (Child Development Associate Credential) and Associate Degree in Liberal Studies and recently completed her Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education from Drexel University.

Miriam's other passions include antiquing, at home DIY projects, baking, organizing, and spending time with her husband Tom, children Kaidence, Harliegh, Lennon, and Maverick.
