Bio:  After graduating from Saint Mary’s College, I moved to Indianapolis, where I began my coaching and eventually teaching career at Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School.  I married my husband, Mike, in 1994 and after having three children, Michael, Patrick, and Sarah, I became an associate sdjunct professor at the University of Indianapolis in the Department of Business until 2004 when I returned to teaching high school at Guerin Catholic in Noblesville.  I moved into the school counseling department in 2009.  After 15 years, I moved on to a new venture in charter schools at the Indiana Agriculture and Technology School where I served as the Director of Guidance before coming to Scecina Memorial High School.

In addition to spending time with my husband and children, I enjoy helping at Ben’s Ranch Foundation, a non-profit organization helping teens who are dealing with mental health issues find internships on farms in Central Indiana.  I have also worked as a certified equine specialist teaming up with mental health professionals providing Equine Assisted Therapy to children and adolescents seeking therapy for mental health.
