I grew up a military dependent and have had the opportunity to see many wonderful places, but I have called the Clarksville area home for most of my life. I graduated from a Clarksville area High School, Austin Peay State University with my Bachelor's in Business Administration (Accounting), and Western Kentucky University with my Master's in Library Information Science. I recently completed my second master's degree, receiving a Master of Education in Instructional Design and Technology. My husband is an art teacher in the district. ​I am very excited to be starting my sixth year as a part of the Richview family. Previously, I spent three years as a library media specialist for MNPS.
