What experience do you have working with children?

From 2017-2021, I was an Instructional Assistant at Liberty Early Elementary, where I worked in the Preschool classrooms, both community and special ed. I was also the Children’s Church Coordinator at Trinity Baptist Church in 2017.

What are some fun facts about you, or favorite things you like to do?

I am a proud Decatur Central High School graduate, and majored in Chemistry at IUPUI. In 2020, I became a state-certified Registered Behavior Technician. I am a proud mom of five amazing kids. It has been a complete joy watching each one of them mature and grow. I enjoy going to church, tennis, hiking, card games, and beating my kids at anything. Reading, going to concerts, and spending time with family and friends are what I value the most.

Why do you like working with kids?

I absolutely love kids. Watching them learn, develop, and try new things have always brought me joy. I am constantly looking for new and exciting ways to engage our students!
