Tell us a little about your background:

I am from the Northern Kentucky/ Greater Cincinnati area. I moved to Lexington 3 years ago. I currently attend UK as a history major. I have always loved children so I am naturally interested in education. I plan to complete my masters in education and eventually become a teacher.

What do you do in your free time and for fun? How about bungee jumping?

I like to read, shop, exercise, and I love to swim, sing and dance with my friends.

What would you like others to know about the kids at Gan Shalom?

I would like everyone to know that the children here at Gan Shalom are wonderful. They are so sweet and each one is unique and special in their own way. I feel priveleged to be able to work with and get to know each and every one of them.
