I was born and raised in Van Wert, Ohio and moved to Englewood, FL with my family to be closer to the year-round warm weather!  I received my Bachelors in Psychology from Indiana Tech in Fort Wayne, IN and my teaching certificate from Florida Southwestern. I have a passion for education and am dedicated to building relationships with my students and their families! I strive to create a positive and fun environment so my students can learn and grow as learners!

I love spending time with my family! My husband and I have been married for 16 years and we have three children (Mackenzie, Kaden, and Emma).  We also have three dogs that are a big part of our family, Chance, Bella, and Mila! We love spending time being outside, going to the beach, reading, and enjoying the beautiful Florida weather!
