My Responsibilities: My role at the Catholic Conference of Ohio is to serve as the director of the Ohio Catholic School Accrediting Association (OCSAA). I work collaboratively with the OCSAA Commission, comprised of the six diocesan superintendents to ensure that the mission of the organization is fully implemented. As director, I guide, administer, and coordinate the accreditation process for each school. The mission of OCSAA is to strengthen Catholic school identity and mission and to engage Catholic schools in the ongoing improvement of student learning. I also serve as the liaison with the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce to facilitate the chartering process for member schools.  

A Little Bit About Me: I live in Dayton, Ohio with my husband and three children. I have attended and served Catholic schools my entire life. I taught Biology at Chaminade Julienne Catholic High School for 13 years before serving as vice principal at Incarnation Catholic School for 3 years. I enjoy playing and watching tennis as well as helping my kids with their sports and schoolwork.
