It's funny-I always remember how many years it has been since high school--some of you may remember that my mom was pregnant our senior year. My sister turned 10 in June!

I attended BGSU for 4 years earning a BS in elementary education and a minor in Spanish. In '01, I became a 5/7/8th grade gifted teacher in Fremont for 2 years. While teaching there, I went back to BGSU to get my gifted certification and masters in curriculum by '04. I taught gifted K-6 at Elmwood Local Schools for 4 years. Finally, in Aug. I will be starting my 7th year of teaching in a new position as a 5th grade LA/SS teacher for Woodland Elementary in Perrysburg. For a creative outlet and to meet new people, I started my home show business in '04 as a Premier Designs jewelry lady.

My husband Ben and I met in BG in '02 and got married Sept. '06 in Tiffin. In '06 we bought and remodeled our first house on the west side of BG. Ben has a 13 yr. old son, Brandon.
