I was born in Detroit, Michigan and I have moved 10 times and lived in five states. I love animals and have many four legged friends, currently four cats and two dogs.  I have three children.

2024 Grade Counselor
Curriculum Lead - Mental Health Support, Restorative Practices & Community Engagement

I was born and raised in Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor, Michigan - and I am a proud alumni of Carpenter Elementary, Scarlett Middle School, and Pioneer High School. I attended Western Michigan University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Secondary Education (English) and a Master of Arts degree in Secondary School Counseling. I come from a family of committed educators and I’m privileged to serve the Scarlett youth and  families in this capacity.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, music, shopping, and spending time with my husband and three sons. I am passionate about empowering young people to invest in themselves through the educational experience and to take care of themselves and one another.

2025 Grade Counselor
Curriculum Lead - College and Career Counseling/Development

Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I am a proud graduate from Pittsfield, Scarlett, and Huron. I did move away for a bit, but Ann Arbor is a really cool town that brought me back. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree from Western Michigan University with teaching certifications in Earth & Environmental Science, Career & Technical - Visual Arts, and Music/Vocal Performance. I earned a Master’s Degree in School and Agency based Counseling from Siena Heights University. I speak fluent teenager, thanks to my 15yo and all of my #ScarlettNation family. I am so grateful to help young people navigate the world and develop a vision of success for themselves and their future.

In my free time I like to “live in the forest” as my 12 yo says, hike/backpack/overland, paddleboard, love all music, local food, and hanging with my kids & doing whatever event they are into. Some of my favorite moments in life are happening right now! This year I’m hoping to keep rollin!
