I hold a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education and a Master’s in Reading Instruction. My professional focus is in Elementary Education, where I supervise and support future educators in Central Indiana. As a proud Ball State alumni, I am deeply committed to both educational and personal growth. Beyond my role as a professor, I work as a Behavior Consultant for individuals with intellectual disabilities, a role that fuels my passion for helping others. I’m a mother of two and a bonus mom of three. As a family, we enjoy traveling and spending time on the lake.
