It has been my pleasure to serve as the Elementary Principal since 2008. My favorite duty as principal is welcoming students each day at the front doors. I love that they are so excited to come to school every day and greet me with hugs.

I have degrees in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from Ohio University. Before becoming the Elementary Principal, I was the Preschool and Kindergarten Principal at FCA for 2 years and was the Preschool Director at FCA for the 5 years prior to that.

 My husband, JT, and I have been married for 22 years. JT serves as the media teacher here at FCA. We have two sons. Our oldest son Kurtis is a 2009 graduate of Fairfield Christian Academy and is in the Ohio National Guard. He is married to Stephanie and is planning to be a fire fighter. Our youngest son Kenny is a senior this year and looking forward to graduation and college.

Fairfield Christian Academy is a ministry of Fairfield Christian Church and I’ve been a member with the church since 1985. On Sundays, you can often find me in the hand bell choir or welcoming in the foyer.

My favorite hobbies are sewing, water aerobics, dark chocolate and wearing funny hats and costumes to make the students smile.

If you are not part of the FCA family yet, I would love to give you a tour and tell you all about how great the teachers, families, and kids are here at Fairfield Christian Academy.  I can be reached at the Elementary Office, 654-2889 X298 or via email. 

Serving His children,
