Hello! I’m happy to call Summit Academy my work home for the past 19 years.  I’ve worked in several different capacities and love my current position, as the Support Services Coordinator for K-4th grade.  Watching students increase their academic knowledge and school skills brings me a lot of joy.  I’m lucky to get to work with parents, students and the amazing staff at Summit Academy.  My family includes my very patient husband, 3 adult children, 2 daughter-in-laws, a teenage daughter and 2 dogs.   I love to travel with my family, go for long walks and spend time watching my kids participate in sports.  I’m so glad you chose to be a part of our school community.
