About Me

Experience

I have worked with a variety of students who have disabilities for 17 years.  This is my 5th year at Berea High School. I have taught in a variety of settings including: tutorial/education support, inclusion, self-contained classes (pull-out), and one-on-one in the medical homebound setting. I look forward to the opportunity to work with wonderful students, parents, and coworkers this year. I also enjoy helping with after school activities like yearbook, sports, and other activities.

I have taught yearbook for two years at the middle school level and 1 year here at Berea High. I'm so excited to see what the team creates and shares with Berea students, staffulty, and the community.

Personal

My brother and his wife live in Ohio. They have 3 children. Becky, Joshua and Caleb are also continuing their education at BJU this year.  Becky, Joshua, and Caleb are also pictured below.

Interests

On the weekends and summers, I enjoy going to church and spending time with family and friends. I like to travel, take photos, garden, cook, read, swim, make jewelry, scrapbook, watch movies/musicals, and play sports or games.
