I bring 11 years of experience in special education, including two years as a Paraprofessional, four years as a Behavior Technician, and five years as a Behavior Specialist. Throughout my career, I have supported students with diverse behavioral, social, and learning needs. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Adolescent Psychology and a Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. I am passionate about understanding the individual needs behind behavior and collaborating with students, families, teachers, and school teams to help students be successful.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our three daughters, and our two dogs. I am the youngest of 11 siblings and have lived in Ohio, Iowa, and Utah. Growing up, I had the opportunity to travel throughout much of the United States because my father is a retired NHRA drag racer, which allowed me to experience many different places and communities. I enjoy watching movies and TV shows and finding opportunities to continue learning and growing both personally and professionally. I am excited to be part of the Ascent Academies community and look forward to building meaningful relationships with students, families, and staff.
