Bio: My home is in Hampden where my husband Jim and I are the proud parents of two children, Mitchell and Mabel. We enjoy fishing, sports, and the occasional dance party.

My goal is to support our students continued growth, and provide youth with the support and individualized attention they need to reach their goals.
