I was raised in Zanesville, Ohio and graduated from Zanesville High School. I am married and have one adult child.
I completed 30 years of service at a local career center as a career specialist, working with children K-12. I have worked as a nursing technician in a newborn nursery and a coordinator for youth volunteers. Working with kids and watching them grow is truly a gift. Serving our clients and being an advocate for them provides a platform for care, connection, and most importantly building relationships. In my spare time I volunteer in the community and currently sit on the preschool board at my church.
