This is my first year as a counselor! I have loved my time here at Mill Creek so far and I am looking forward to all the memories to be made! Before this year, I was a 7th grade math teacher for 5 years, what can I say, I LOVE middle school! I graduated from Pittsburg State in 2016 where I met my husband, Boston. We have been married for 2 years and we have a 7-month old daughter, Maya. We also have a boxer named Tyson. I am so excited to be a part of the MCMS family!
