MY PATH TO EDUCATION
I came to SYV Family School through family friends and a past board member who thought the school would be a great fit. With 35 years of experience in the finance industry and certifications in QuickBooks Desktop and QBO, Human Resources, and Pandemic Coordination, I bring organization, care, and structure to everything I do.
WHAT SHAPED ME
My experience in finance has taught me attention to detail, problem-solving, and the importance of teamwork. Working at a school has shown me how rewarding it is to support students, families, and staff in creating a positive community.
WHY SYV FAMILY SCHOOL
I love the connections I get to make with students and their families. The sense of community here is unique - it truly feels like an extended family.
IN MY ROLE
I work to ensure the school’s operations run smoothly so that teachers and students can focus on learning and growth. I hope the families and students I interact with feel supported and valued every day.
FAVORITE CHILDREN’S BOOK
A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein - a fun, imaginative, and clever collection that never fails to delight.
OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL
I enjoy spending time with my family, tending my little farm, and following sports.
