I am a first-grade teacher at Licking Heights West Elementary School.  I am also the Building Technology Coordinator, K-2 Science Curriculum Chair, and a member of the Wellness Team.  

I have been awarded the Dow Chemical STEM award for my district.  I have also been chosen Teacher of the Year for my school.  However, the biggest honor I have been fortunate to receive is the Presidential Award of Excellence for Mathematics and Science Teaching or PAEMST.  I was awarded that in 2018 for Science in the state of Ohio.

I am married with three children.
