Hello! I am the new high school business teacher at Tippecanoe High School and excited to begin my first year of teaching! I graduated from Ball State University in May 2017 with my bachelors in Business Education. During my time at Ball State, I was involved with College Mentors for Kids where I served as a mentor for local Muncie students. Building relationships with these students and giving back to the Muncie community is something I will always remember. I also worked as an accounting and ISOM tutor on campus. These experiences ignited my passion for teaching and serving as a role model for students. In August 2017, I began my graduate program in Business Education at Ball State, where I recieved my masters degree in July 2018. I was fortunate to work as a graduate assistant in the business college, where I gained hands on experience collaborating with business professors and assisting with classroom instruction.

Other than teaching, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I am from Coldwater, Ohio, about 45 minutes north of Tipp City. I grew up on a family farm, where we raised steers and chickens, and farm about 250 acres. I like outdoor activities, such as playing sports, working on the family farm, riding ATV’s, and grilling out. I am a huge sports fan, especially the Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Ohio State Buckeyes. With LeBron moving west, I guess the Lakers are my second NBA team!

I feel very fortunate to begin my teaching career in a great school district and even greater community. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact me! I am looking forward to a successful first year teaching at Tippecanoe High School!
