This will be my fourteenth year to teach between the states of Indiana and Tennessee. I am passionate about my family, reading, and sweets! I love crafting, the outdoors, and challenging myself to be a lifelong learner.

I moved to Tennessee 12 years ago and have loved every minute I have spent here. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana with one older brother, a hairdresser mom and computer programmer dad. I went to college at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. Go Cards!

My husband and I have an adorable little family with a strong and active tween whom you can find longboarding or mountain biking. We also have a sassy and outgoing elementary student that's usually watching "youtube blogs" or attempting to make one herself! We stay busy with afterschool activities like tennis, gymnastics classes, music lessons, bike rides, playground visits, or game and movie nights. It's a crazy life, but one I feel so fortunate to have.
