The atmosphere of Hearts & Minds is my absolute favorite thing.  Getting to work side by side daily with inspirational coworkers, and build relationships with families and kiddos fills my heart.  I love getting the chance to pray together each morning and encourage each other through the peaks and valleys of life.  Hearts and Minds is just a truly special place and I’m so thankful I get to be a part of it.
