I was born in Bayville, NJ.  I graduated from Central Regional High School in 2001.  I attended Ocean County College from 2001-2002, and I then transferred to Rutgers University in 2002.  I received my Bachelor's degree in English and a minor in Psychology in 2005.  I then continued my education at Georgian Court University, where I received my masters degree in Education.  In 2007, I joined the Lacey family as a teacher in the high school.  I met my husband at Lacey and we were married in 2012.  We welcomed our first child in 2014 and our second in 2016.  We also have two bulldogs to complete our family!
