went to Westminster College. I graduated in 1990 with a degree in Elementary Education. I taught 2nd grade for ten years at West Geauga. In 1997 I got in touch with our classmate John Martell who ended up being my soul mate! Who knew? We were married in 1998 and have two beautiful boys, Bryan (8) and Cameron (6). I have been a stay at home mom for eight years but hope to return to teaching eventually. For now my boys keep me very busy. I also stay active with running and fitness. Last year I ran my first half marathon and this year I hope to run my first whole marathon!
