What do you enjoy most about being part of the Options team?
I am excited to be working with a group of educators who are focused on supporting all students to succeed and help prepare them for what comes after high school.
What do you enjoy outside of Options?
I am an avid Disney fan! Our family visits Disney parks often. We collect, watch, listen, and experience as much Disney as we can as a family. I enjoy running and have completed several half marathons and enjoy running regularly. I am also a big Indianapolis Colts fan and try to meet as many of the players as possible.
