Teacher. Mom. Advocate. Director.

Tiffanie has spent her career caring for Franklin's children — first as a teacher in Franklin Public Schools, and now as the heart behind LEAF.

As a working mom of three, she knows how much trust it takes to hand your child to someone else — and built LEAF to be the kind of place she'd want for her own kids.
