I am originally from Washington D.C., but now call Alabama home. After many years in the corporate world, I switched careers to work with exceptional children. In 2002, I started my journey with Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind (AIDB) at Alabama School for the Deaf and through the years I have worked on all AIDB campuses. Since 2005, I have been in administration in Student Life at the Alabama School for the Blind and Rainbow Omega (a youth residential mental health facility) and Helen Keller School of Alabama (HKS). I hold a bachelor's and master's degree in Psychology.

I became the Student Life Director at HKS in February 2023. HKS has always had a special place in my heart and I am grateful and honored to work with the students. While working at HKS, the one thing that has continuously amazed me is the consistently unmatched determination and resilience of our students as they progress through our Academic and Student Life programs.

Being able to observe HKS students' step-by-step achievements and milestones is truly inspiring. The limitless joy that HKS students show us every day is a master-class lesson in life.
