As the daughter of educators and a graduate of MHS and UT Knoxville, I am passionate about the impact teachers and schools have on our students and community. I believe that academic and personal success are best achieved in an environment of kindness, connection, accountability, compassion, and play. I am grateful for a career of more than 20 years in civil engineering and commercial property development. I currently utilize my experience in a part-time consulting role, where I lead my clients through the property development process, including design, entitlement and construction. However, my most important endeavor in life is raising our children, Jack and Sam, members of the classes of 2029 and 2033. I am thrilled to share this adventure with my husband and fellow MHS alumnus, Chris. Our family enjoys spending time at the lake, and we are very enthusiastic about traveling as much as possible. In quiet moments, my happy place is in the pages of a book. I serve on the MCSF Board because I want to help our teachers and schools to support every child, in ways that go beyond what our public school system can do with tax dollars alone.
