I am originally from Indianapolis, Indiana, where I returned after completing my bachelor’s degree in Music Education at the University of Kentucky. I later finished my coursework in Educational Leadership at Eastern Kentucky University.

My teaching career began in Indianapolis, but I have lived in Lexington since 2006. I previously taught at Northern Elementary, working collaboratively with teacher teams to incorporate the arts across all content areas.

My husband Chris and I live in Lexington with our Chihuahua, Remy, and enjoy watching movies and sports together. Chris is a band director in Fayette County schools.
