Courtney brings a wealth of experience and expertise to White Tiger Karate's SKILLZ Child Development Program. She began her journey in early childhood education at NHTI, where she earned her qualification as a Lead Teacher with the state of New Hampshire. Over the past eight years, Courtney has worked closely with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, utilizing a diverse array of teaching philosophies and methods to support each child's personal growth and development in a childcare classroom setting.
In addition to her extensive hands-on experience, Courtney has completed intensive training to earn her certification as a Pediatric Ninja Specialist (PNS) through the renowned SKILLZ program under the mentorship of Melody Johnson. This training has deepened her ability to connect with young students and support their development in martial arts, physical activity, and life skills.
Courtney is passionate about continuing her education to further her ability to help children become the best versions of themselves. She brings compassion, patience, and a genuine love for working with young children to every class, ensuring that each student’s experience is fun, engaging, and empowering.
Outside of her work at White Tiger Karate, Courtney enjoys hiking, gardening, going for walks with her dog, and spending time at the beach. Her warm, nurturing nature and dedication to childhood development make her an excellent addition to our team, and we are thrilled to have her working with our 18-month to six-year-old students.
