I grew up in a military family and have been married to my husband, Ryan, for 20 years.  We have two beautiful daughters, Riley (9) and Jane (5).  In our free time, we enjoy traveling, spending time on the water and around a campfire, playing with our dog, Lou, and rooting for the St. Louis Cardinals and the Denver Broncos.  Throughout my lived experiences, both personally and professionally, I have developed a strong sense of core values: integrity, honesty, relentless improvement, and doing what is best for kids.  I lead with my heart and look forward to working collaboratively with you and our staff.
