Hello! I am a 1995 graduate of Margaretta High School in Castalia. I earned my Bachelor of Music Education degree from Heidelberg University in 1999 and a Master of Music Education degree from Bowling Green State University in 2004. In addition, I have completed numerous graduate level courses, hold Level I and II Orff Certification, and have assisted the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) as a Praxis III Evaluator and Resident Educator Mentor. Furthermore, I am a PAX and Dyslexia trained teacher. I have served as President of District II of the Ohio Music Education Association, Treasurer of the Ohio Choral Directors Association, State Chair for The Ohio Society for General Music and President of the Oak Harbor Education Association. I am currently a member of the Building Leadership Team (BLT), Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Committee, and Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS) Committee at R. C. Waters Elementary. I hold membership in Kappa Delta Pi , Delta Kappa Gamma, Tau Mu Sigma, Alpha Lambda Delta, Omicron Delta Kappa, and Tri-M Honor Societies. I just completed my 23rd year of teaching and love it!
I live in the Fremont area with my husband, Jim, and our two boys, Caleb (13) and Noah (9). I am active at our church as a lector, musician, and communion assistant. I am serving my third term as President of the Otis Elementary School PTO and am also involved with the Lindsey Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary. In my spare time, I love being with my family and friends, as well as reading and camping.
