Biography

I have been a part of the Forest Ridge Academy community for 16 years as an employee, and my connection to FRA began even earlier as a parent from 2001–2012. I currently serve as the Office Manager and Assistant to the Head of School, Extended Care Coordinator, Special Events Coordinator, and Yearbook Coordinator. I enjoy supporting students, families, and staff while helping create a welcoming, organized, and memorable school experience.

Before joining FRA as an employee, I worked as an Insurance Underwriter with Allstate and spent 11 years as a stay-at-home mom. My experiences as both a parent and staff member have given me a unique appreciation for the strong relationships and lasting impact that define the FRA community.

What I love most about Forest Ridge Academy is the close-knit community. There is so much compassion, care, and genuine support among the faculty and staff for students and for one another. The students bring so much joy, and I am grateful to work alongside amazing colleagues who are passionate about what they do. FRA is truly a place filled with heart, and I love being part of it.

I am honored to have received the Golden Apple Award, the Albert’s Jewelers Above and Beyond Award (nominated by my peers), the Parent Volunteer of the Year Award, and the 5-Year, 10-Year, and 15-Year Service Awards. I am also proud to be part of the FRA community as the parent of a graduate from the Class of 2012. My child attended FRA from Young Scholars through eighth grade as an FRA “lifer.”
