I have been teaching at Heritage Presbyterian Preschool since 2012 and I feel so blessed to have
the opportunity to work in such a friendly and supportive environment. I have lived here in
Mason most of my life and both of my sons are HPP graduates. I earned my Bachelor's Degree
from the University of Cincinnati and have had the opportunity to work with children in various
settings over the years. I love working with young children and watching them learn and grow. I think that we can also learn a lot from the way they see the world. In my free time I enjoy hiking,
biking, reading, cooking and spending time with my family and friends. Lead teacher for Dolphins and Starfish.

I was born in New Jersey and raised in New York. Though technically a Jersey girl, New York will always have a piece of my heart! My husband Mike and I live in Mason with our daughter Olivia and a very spoiled pup named Phoebe. If I'm not at Heritage, you will probably find me on the pool deck cheering on my daughter and her swim team. I'm looking forward to getting to know you children throughout the school year!
