Background
I started my teaching career at Steubenville High School in 2003. I then taught for five years in Ocean City, Maryland. After having my son, we moved back to West Virginia and I was employed by an IT company that was contracted with the WVDOE. I trained teachers throughout the state on instructional technology, which grew to helping companies such as Toyota and Yum Foods implement technology into their offices. In 2013, I came to Brooke High School. I have taught numerous courses from Geometry to AP Statistics.
I am a mom of a 6th grade student in the county. I enjoy being a mom taxi after school every day with activities. We enjoy keeping busy in the summer with long weekend and day trips.
