Originally from Indianapolis, I graduated from Indiana University in 2022 with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in History. Before moving to the Philadelphia area this summer with my fiancé, I taught a year in first grade and two years in kindergarten in West Hartford, Connecticut. Outside the classroom, I love reading, hiking, exploring new restaurants, spending time at the Jersey Shore, and playing with my three cats -- Frankie, Anakin, and Vader. I'm thrilled to join the CJF community!

My favorites:

• Hobby: Reading, hiking, cooking

• Drink: Bloom Sparkling Energy Drink, iced coffee, Cherry Coke

• Season: Summer

• Candy: Reese's

• Color: Blue

• Animal: Cats
