Biography

I have been a part of the Forest Ridge Academy community for three years and currently serve as the Director of Finance. I enjoy supporting the school’s mission by helping manage the financial operations of FRA and ensuring the resources needed to support students, families, and staff are effectively maintained.
 
Before joining FRA, I worked for the Indiana State Board of Accounts. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne in 1998 and became a Certified Public Accountant in Indiana in 2001 and Florida in 2025. My professional experiences have strengthened my commitment to accuracy, organization, and responsible stewardship.
 
What I love most about Forest Ridge Academy is that FRA is family. I appreciate the strong relationships and sense of community that make the school such a special place.
 
I am honored to have received the Parent Volunteer of the Year Award for the 2017–2018 school year. I am also proud to be part of the FRA community as the parent of two graduates: Allison, Class of 2019, and Corey, Class of 2021.
