I started at Black River High School in 2012. I became a teacher because I have a deep love of learning and want to pass
that along to others because nothing makes me happier and more fulfilled than seeing a student discover their passion, experience success in learning, or understand the importance of perseverance. 

I was born in Medina, Ohio and am a 2002 graduate of Black River High School. After completing college and graduate school, my husband and I decided to move to Spencer were we currently reside with our children. I have always had a curiosity for nature and the sciences which fueled my decision to teach. I am very involved with numerous youth leadership organizations and love to spend time inspiring others to see their potential as leaders and learners.
