I graduated from Miami East High School in Ohio. I earned an AA degree from Liberty University in Virginia, and in 2011, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education & Special Education from Grand Canyon University, Arizona.

I began working at ZSE in 1989 as a paraprofessional. After earning my BS degree in 2011, I taught an ESE self contained classroom grades K-5. I am currenlty the ESE Resource teacher for grades 4 and 5. 

I live in Sebring, Florida and enjoy the time I spend with my dogs, Jack & Maggie, and long rides on my motorcyle exploring new places. I also have an interest in antique tractors and vintage muscle cars and trucks.
