The youngest of 7 children, I was raised in Tiffin, Ohio.  After graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics and secondary education from Heidelberg University in 1993, I moved to Hamilton, Ohio to teach. I met my husband, Todd, at St. Matthias, and we married in 1996. We have 3 children: Mark, Anthony, and Anna.  Even though I stopped teaching in the classroom full-time after Anthony was born, I continued to tutor and stay heavily involved with my children’s education by homeschooling.  Before becoming the office manager for the Queen of Apostles Family of Parishes, I was secretary at St. Matthias and Communications Coordinator for the Winton Wyoming Region.
