Ruth has worked in the early childhood education, infant through Pre-K, for 30 years. Working in both the private and public sectors of the field, she has moved from positions in the classroom through curriculum specialist, landing in administration as an Education Services Manager for a Community Action agency. Becoming excited about CLASS as an administrator and staff developer, Ruth started her relationship with Teachstone as a guest blogger through the Teachstone Ambassador initiative.

Relocating with her husband and dog to the beautiful mountains of Virginia, has brought Ruth closer to her love of nature and history.
