I began working at West Catholic in 1991. Since then, I have married and have 2 young boys. I have coached softball and Science Olympiad, been a class advisor and SADD advisor, served as committee chair for NCA and taught some science and math.

Besides math and science, I love to be with my family, garden, and do puzzles (not jigsaw).

I am very excited to begin my 6th year of teaching Math at West Catholic!  I love working with students to deepen their understanding of Math concepts and applications, and also enjoy being the Junior Class Advisor.  I earned a BA in Supply Chain Management from MSU and a Masters in Education from Aquinas College.  Prior to becoming a Teacher, I worked for 10+ years in the private sector.  I am married, have two children, and am a loyal fan of the green and white!
