The 2026–27 school year marks my fifth year in education and my third year at Marian. I am excited to return to the English classroom, meet our incoming freshmen and sophomores, and introduce a brand-new course for seniors: Dual Credit English.

Back when I was a Marian student myself, I served as the women’s épée captain on the Fencing team and was involved in both Art Club and Writers’ Society. Today, I run the Outdoor Adventure Club and Book Club.

Outside of school, I enjoy leisurely horseback riding, playing the guitar and banjo, writing poetry and other creative works, exploring digital and film photography, and spending time with my family, friends, and many pets!
