Originally From:

Born in Akron, Ohio; Raised near Dayton, OH - Graduated from Troy Christian High School

Why I came to DCS:

My husband was transferred with his company to the Columbus area in 2022, and I was on the lookout for a Christian school to enroll our oldest daughter, as she was preparing for Pre-K. In the midst of this transition for our family, I was in fervent prayer about where God wanted to use me. Although all of my schooling from Kindergarten-college was at a Christian school, my entire teaching career was in a charter/public school setting. I begged God to open the door to the school that He willed for me to be at, and it just so happened that DCS was hiring. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God led me to teach here. I'm so proud and beyond thankful to be an eagle!

When I was younger I wanted to:

I wanted to be an elementary teacher since I was in second grade, mostly due to the fact that my second grade teacher frequently passed out gummy bears to us in class for our hard work.

Hobbies/Interests outside of DCS:

Traveling with my family, vacationing at the beach, meeting up for brunch with friends, reading, frequenting coffee shops, creating photo books, and rooting for my favorite football teams (THE Ohio State Buckeyes & the Cleveland Browns).
