Meet Mrs. Mincks
I am so excited to be a Trojan this year. I started out my career in 2002 as an ABA therapist/aide. In 2007, I became a lead teacher at Helping Hands Center, now "Bridgeway Academy". In 2012, I decided to teach online with ECOT until they closed in 2018 and then began teaching for Northridge in their Student Learning Center. I earned my teaching licensure from Ohio Dominican University in 2006 and then my masters from MVNU in 2011.
Personally, I am an outdoorsy person who very much loves her mini farm, garden and family. Both of my daughters are involved in 4H and raise chickens, ducks, 1 turkey, 1 doggy and 5 cats. Next year, we will be adding peacocks and peahens to our craziness. I absolutely love working with people and helping others learn more about themselves, community and transition plans post graduation. I am so grateful for starting my 21st year in education in Centerburg, the heart of Ohio.
