In 2022 she moved to Spring Brook Elementary to teach Project Arrow.  She received her bachelor's degree in Hospitality Management with a minor in Business from the University of Kentucky.  She earned her Masters in Education K-9 from DePaul University.  She has her gifted education endorsement and middle school endorsement. She loves teaching because she likes to inspire students and push them to their fullest potential. It brings her great joy to visit with past students and hear about all their successes.  In her free time, she can be found watching her three daughters play sports, doing yoga, taking her dog Millie on walks and traveling with family and friends.
