A native of Latrobe, PA, my journey in education was inspired by the passionate educators of the Greater Latrobe School District. After completing my studies at Denison and Gonzaga Universities, I earned my licensure at Edinboro University and spent seven years in the classroom, serving diverse student populations in Erie, PA, and Tucson, AZ.

Driven by a commitment to educational leadership, I earned my Master’s from Western Governors University and transitioned into administration. My leadership path has included roles as an Instructional Coach, Dean of Students, and Assistant Principal—notably helping launch a virtual school during the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently serving as a Principal in Northern Vermont, I am eager to bring my diverse experiences in urban, rural, and virtual leadership back to Pennsylvania to be closer to my family and the community that shaped me
