Hello! As a passionate life long learner, encountering new ideas and perspectives through reading, traveling and talking with others are some of my favorite things to do.

I received a Masters in Education/Integrated Language Arts from The Ohio State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities from The University of Texas. I grew up in Worthington and attended Thomas Worthington High School. I have been teaching English at New Albany since 2003, including AP Literature 12, English 12, Honors and English 10, Critical Reading, Public Speaking, Noble Academy, Senior Seminar, and Introduction to Humanities. I came to the field of teaching with quite a bit of business experience. For seven years, I was a realtor in the central Ohio area; I spent the previous seven years in retail buying and merchandising.
