Founder and CEO of The Emerging Parent

The person behind @earlyinterventionmama

Miranda is a parent educator, group facilitator, parent coach, early interventionist, and entrepreneur. Miranda graduated from Central Michigan University with a Bachelors Degree and dual majors in Child Development and English.
After spending just over 13 years professionally in early intervention services as an Early On Michigan provider, Miranda left her home visiting career to care for her young daughters. 
She grew a passion for small business ownership while offering community based classes and has a passion for serving parents, especially mothers, in early parenthood. 
During her years as a parent coach in early intervention, she saw families who lacked informal support systems. The Emerging Parent was born out of the idea that no one should have to parent alone and parents need a place to go to build community.
Miranda is returning to serving her community in a new way in the hopes of providing more accessible support for all through small business ownership at The Emerging Parent.
