Originally from Lima, Ohio I moved into the greater Cincinnati area in 2015 with a goal to break into both education and sports broadcasting. I now have role within each, working as a Media Electives Teacher at Mariemont Junior High School and a sports broadcaster and at Chatterbox Sports. I enjoy teaching students a variety of communications and media skills that they can use into high school, college, and beyond. My hope is that students will get hands on experience and ideas to truly break into the industry if they would like and have access to some of the amazing opportunities I have had throughout my career.Prior to teaching, I was an Instructional Design Coach at Forward Edge. I enjoyed my time at Forward Edge - working with my team to discover new tools and plans for technology to be utilized in education. I got to work with educators and students to implement technology into the curriculum and instruction at Great Oaks Laurel and Scarlet campuses. I was also the coordinator of the Restart Recharge podcast, a podcast by instructional coaches for instructional coaches and was a presenter at major edtech conferences including ISTE, FETC, TCEA, MACUL and OETC.I enjoy covering high school athletics through broadcasting capturing the achievements of student athletes both on and off the field. I am the Director of Soccer and dedicate creating content towards soccer in the Greater Cincinnati area.I have a Master of Education from Xavier University and licensure in Integrated Social Studies, grades 7-12. I have a bachelor's degree from Bowling Green State University in Telecommunications.
