Why I Enjoy my Job:

I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to support and counsel children and their families. Each day I learn from the students that there is no limit to enthusiasm, courage, resiliency, love, and the deep need and desire for meaningful relationships between people of all ages. I believe all people need a safe haven in times of hardship and someone whom they can trust to share their thoughts and feelings.

Other

I have a great family that consists of husband Todd, son Mike, and daughter Lauren. I enjoy reading, spending time with friends and family, Friday trips to Green Dragon, and hiking with our dogs Tucker and Harry.
