Rooted in a small rural town in southeast Ohio, I have carried with me a deep love for community and learning since childhood. Over the past 20+ years, I have been fortunate to turn that passion into a career as a teacher. Every day brings new challenges, plenty of laughter, and those amazing lightbulb moments when students discover what they are truly capable of, and that is what keeps me inspired.
Outside of school, life is full and joyful thanks to my wonderful husband, our two grown daughters, and our sweet pup. When I am not spending time with them, you will most likely find me outdoors, hiking through nature, exploring new places, or sitting by the ocean, soaking in the sound of the waves and the salty breeze. Being outside, whether in the woods or by the water, is where I feel most at peace.
I am so happy to be a part of the PSD family and grateful for the opportunity to learn, grow, and serve alongside such an incredible community. At my core, I believe in connection, kindness, and lifelong learning.
