Background
I am born and raised here in Northeast Ohio. I grew up in Beachwood and graduated from Beachwood High School. After graduating from Beachwood I went to Indiana University where I earned my Bachelors degree in Biology. I then decided I wanted to be a high school biology teacher and earned my Masters degree from Kent State in teaching. I was hired to teach chemistry at Mentor High School and have been teaching there ever since. I moved into teaching biology shortly after being hired.
I am married to my husband Al and we now live in Solon with our twin daughters.
