My husband Tyler and I live in Clinton, where he is an associate principal at Clinton Middle School. We are parents to our beautiful daughters (Lydia & Sylvia), our yellow lab (Huck) and a spoiled kitty (Evie).
In my spare time I love to read, run, and eat desserts (hence the running)! I feel so blessed to have found a job that I truly love and I enjoy going to work everyday!
My younger brother, Skylar, is also a science teacher and currently teaches in Van Meter.
