This is my 17th year teaching at Bush High School.  For 10 years I have taught both Advanced and Pre-AP World Geography, and currently I am teaching U.S. History.  In 2017, I was chosen as Bush High School's Teacher of the Year.  I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio, where my family currently resides.  I graduated from Bowling Green State University with a major in Integrated Secondary Social Studies. I minored in political science, U.S. history, and added a concentration in American Cultural Studies.  I served in the U.S. military for 10 years, including 1 year serving in Operation Noble Eagle III.  I was a member of the Ohio and Alabama Army National Guard.   I am married to my husband of ten years and have a daughter who is now nine years old.  I have enjoyed my years at Bush High School, and I am looking forward to the year ahead.  In addition to my classroom responsibilities, I am co-sponsor for Student Council.  In the past, I have also coached several teams here at the school.  I enjoy teaching at one of the most diverse campuses in the area and could not imagine teaching anywhere else. On a side note, so glad the city of Cleveland won a championship in 2016!  I am also proud of my students last year and their successes in the classroom.
