Prior to working at Augusta High School, I worked at Ewalt Elementary in Special Education grades Pre-Kindergarten through 2^nd grade.

I married my husband, Ryan, in May of 2015 and we have 4 children, 2 girls (Remington (Remy) and Peighton) and 2 boys (Dalton, and Jameson).

We have many pets, as I also have a passion for rescuing animals in need. We have 14 horses, 2 sheep, 3 goats, 2 dogs, 5 cats, and 9 chickens.

I also give horseback riding lessons and manage my equine rescue/farm. My husband and I enjoy firearm training and practice, and coaching our childrens’ sports teams – Mainly baseball and softball
