I have been working at Lakeview since 2006. Before coming to Lakeview, I worked in Pickerington (my hometown!) and Youngstown. I earned my bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Ohio University, and I earned my master’s degree in school counseling from the University of Dayton.
I live in Canfield with my husband, Dean. He is a teacher and a coach at Canfield High School. We have a wonderful daughter, named Alex (born in 2009). She lights up our lives and keeps us very busy. I have a pit-mix who is the sweetest boy ever - Archie Griffin Conley!
My life’s work is helping kids!! I truly believe, “It takes a village.” I am honored to be part of your child’s village.

As a graduate from Lakeview, I am beyond thrilled to be able to teach in the same district where I went to school! After high school, I attended Clarion University of Pennsylvania, where I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education K-6. I furthered my education by obtaining my Master's in Special Education from Western Governors University. I have been teaching at Lakeview since 2011.
My husband and I have two wonderful boys, Zeke and Reed. We have 2 dogs named Gretta and Pretzel, chickens, and honeybees! I enjoy spending time with my family, thrifting and enjoying a good cup of coffee.
There is so much to look forward to this school year and I think that with all of us working together we can make this a very positive experience. I look forward to working with you and your child to ensure a successful school year!

As a graduate of Lakeview High School it is an honor to be a part of this district! I graduated from Kent State University in May 2008 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. I taught first grade for two years out of state before returning to my hometown. I have been a fourth grade teacher at Lakeview since fall 2010. I have also earned my 4th and 5th grade generalist endorsement from Walsh University and a Master’s Degree in Technology Integration from Nova Southeastern University.
My husband and I have two wonderful children, Brayden and Addyson. We have a dog named Sadie, cows, rabbits and chickens! I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, crafting, and reading.
I am so excited to be your child’s teacher! My goal is to help your child in every way to meet his or her learning potential by providing many experiences to help your child develop and gain confidence in what he or she can do. Fourth grade is going to be a fantastic year!
