| Work Experience | I worked for 18 years as a medical laboratory technologist assisting patients, physicians, and health care facilities in our community to better serve the wellness of Gallia County. Volunteering as a youth leader I discovered my love of helping children and teens in all aspects of life. I love advising the students at University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College with their financial aid needs, but more than that, I enjoy watching students become successful adults and hoping I had a hand in that.

| Biography | I grew up in Rio Grande, attending Rio Grande Elementary and Gallia Academy High School. GO BIG BLUE! I started my education with the University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College and after 18 years in the medical technology field, I continued on at Ohio University focusing on child psychology. I have a serving heart that has a special place for our youth. Once I began serving as a youth leader, I knew I needed to focus my attention on today’s youth by inspiring them to be “better”, better daughters and sons, better students, better human beings. I love our students at University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College and I hope to be a great asset in the coming years on contributing to our students being “better” . |
