Educational Background: A Bachelor's degree in journalism from Bowling Green State University; A Masters in special education from Northeastern Illinois University; level I certified in the Wilson Reading System.

Hobbies: hiking, swimming, reading, crossword puzzles, music, being with my dog, spending time with family and friends

Favorite Place Traveled to and Why: My husband and I were able to hike "The Wave"--an amazing red rock formation in Arizona. Only a limited number of people are permitted to trek daily to preserve the area. It is incredibly beautiful, peaceful, and pristine, but it is also a very challenging hike and can be dangerous if unprepared. It was definitely a bucket list destination for us.

Favorite School Subject and Why: In true nerd fashion, I enjoy almost all school subjects. As an adult, I've come to enjoy math more than ever. I love the consistency and the ability to sometimes find different paths to the answer.

Describe Your Favorite Memory at Holy Family School: I love Panther Pals. It's so fun to see all of the different ages of students interacting. I especially love seeing the 8th graders being so patient and caring toward the "littles."
