About

I am an Ohio-based educator that got my first classroom job at 22, my first house at 26, and only started taking real chances in the last year. I hope to write about my thoughts on the state of education, my health and wellness, and general musings from a 30-something on a journey that isn't always typical of what you scroll through on social media.

That's okay. There won't always be confetti, but there's reasons to have a good laugh.

Personal interests include singing, a good taco night, and bargain hunting for dresses that likely still have the tags on them in my closet.
