I grew up in Woodstock, Virginia where I attended Central High School. I moved to Charlottesville shortly after high school where I graduated from the University of Virginia in 2015 with both a Masters in Teaching as well as a Bachelor of Arts degree. I began my teaching career here in Winchester at FDES where I have taught both 3rd and 4th grade. 

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading and swimming. I serve as an assistant swim coach for our local year-round swim team at Jim Barnett Park. During school breaks, I find new places to visit as I work towards accomplishing a personal goal of visiting all 50 states. When I'm not traveling, you can find me eagerly rooting for my two favorite sports teams: the Baltimore Orioles and Virginia Cavaliers. Go Hoos!
