Education – I am a graduate of Watkins Memorial High School and also earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Environmental Life Science with a minor in Visual Arts from Otterbein College.

Experience - This is my sixteenth year at Messiah Christian School!  I previously taught 5 years at Hosanna Lutheran Childhood Center in Pataskala and 1 year at Etna United Methodist Church’s Mom’s Day Out.  I was also a substitute preschool, elementary and middle school teacher.   I enjoy working with children and love seeing their growth and development throughout the school year.

Although I have retired from teaching, I have remained as the school Webmaster.  I maintain the school website and also find ways to incorporate technology into our learning and play.  I also occasionally sub and work on special projects around the school.

Family - I have been married to my husband Matthew for 33 years.  Matt is a Columbus Police Officer who is retiring this year after 31 years.  We have three children: Cameron, Caitlyn and Carson.  My oldest son, Cameron and his wife, Jordan, live in Mount Vernon where he is an Assistant Principal and Coach.  They have a 2 year old boy and a new baby girl.  My daughter, Caitlyn and her husband Doug, live here in Reynoldsburg where Cat is a school-based Physical Therapist.  They are expecting a baby boy.  I will soon have 3 grandchildren!  My youngest son, Carson is a Radiologic Technician at OSU East and is now married to Sami.  We have 1 dog.  Our family likes sports and playing games together.   We enjoy family vacations, especially the beach.

Hobbies and Interests – My hobbies include crafts, scrapbooking and spending time with my family and friends.
