    Admissions & Operations Director

    I joined Seashore last fall of 2021 as my values aligned with Seashore's traditional philosophies. My favorite aspect of my role is building relationships with families and providing an environment where students can thrive. When I am not at Seashore, I love spending time with my 3 children, going to the beach, paddle boarding, and hiking. I am also a Seashore parent and enjoy both the opportunity of being an administrator and an academy parent.

    Controller


    I joined Seashore Academy in March 2022 and I am really enjoying being part of a business with such a great mission. I grew up in upstate New York and reside there with my husband and cats. In my spare time I enjoy being outdoors, gardening, cooking, making furniture, construction, and quilting. I love nature, creating things with my hands and living life simply, and of course I have a passion for accounting & finance.

    It has been an enriching, fun, and exciting journey to be a part of Seashore's continued growth and positive transformations since I joined in 2019 and a student population of around 45. I am passionate about Seashore’s values and feel honored to work with the best families, students, teachers, and staff who inspire me daily. 



    My educational background includes a degree in business from The University of Arizona and a Master's in Elementary Education. In my free time, I enjoy golfing, traveling, volunteering, crafting, and quality time spent with family and friends.
