Hi! I am the Program Specialist at Garfield Community School.  I started teaching Livonia public schools in 2007 as a teacher in the Autism program at Frost, then to Churchill, and lastly, to WWSC in 2014. I was the school's Behavioral Specialist From January 2020 until November 2022. Prior to teaching in Livonia I taught for two years at a private school for students with special needs. I earned my Bachelors degree from Western Michigan University and a Masters degree from Oakland University.  I grew up in Livonia Public Schools and Plymouth-Canton Public Schools.  

I live with my husband, Pete, two daughters, Elizabeth (13) and Layla (11), and dog Will.  During my free time, I love to travel with my family, garden, do house projects, and exercise.  I am also a big Michigan fan.
