Browne High School and work with a passionate team to foster stronger alignment between education, business, and community. She is passionate about developing equitable opportunities for students and teachers, making sure that all students can have access to the tools, experiences, and skills that will support their success through and beyond high school. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education with a minor in Gifted and Talented Education from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. Go Cardinals! Working as a College and Career Coach with ElevateEdAZ allows her to continue working with students, teachers, and now business partners in a unique way that encourages opportunity where it was not available before. She is excited to carry out ElevateEdAZ’s goals on campus each day, and when she is not working, she can be found spending time outdoors, listening to live music, and traveling with her partner and dogs!
