She has had the honor and immense pleasure of being at Union Academy since 2014, teaching AP Biology, Honors Anatomy & Physiology, Biology, and Forensic Science, hosting the Pinterest Club, coaching Girls on the Run, being the Student Council Advisor, and helping out with anything that is asked of her. She currently serves as the Assistant Principal for the high school and the Student Council Advisor.

She has an amazing son who is a senior at Union Academy, an incredible new husband, and a crazy boxer pup named Oakley. She loves the beach and traveling around the world and can often be seen on many adventures with her son and husband. Her other hobbies include having a dance party while cleaning her house, reading, playing tennis (not very well), kickboxing, doing crafts, and just being outdoors. Being a mother, an educator, and the best person she can be is what she feels she was put on this Earth to do.
