I was born and raised in Bethesda, Maryland and attended local schools throughout my education. I moved out to the midwest for 4 years as I completed my undergraduate degree at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio earning a Bachelors of Liberal Arts and a Minor in Special Education. Throughout my undergraduate course work, I had opportunities to work with students in the classroom setting in elementary and middle school grades. I have always loved working with children and being able to watch them grow individually and academically. In my time away from the classroom, I love hanging out with my friends and family and attending country concerts!
