I am a veteran teacher with over 25 years of teaching experience....over 20 of those have been here in Stafford County.  Due to my husband's military career in the Coast Guard, I have also had the opportunity to teach in Ewa Beach, Hawaii and New York City, New York.  I have been a middle school science teacher as well as a third and fifth grade general education teacher.  I am currently a 4th and 5th grade special education teacher.  After growing up in Alexandria, Virginia, I attended James Madison University and earned a degree in Middle Education.  Years later, I earned a masters degree from Rowan University in Special Education.  My husband and I have three grown children who all graduated from Stafford County Public Schools.  Our girls have gone on to earn college degrees and are now successful professionals.  During my free time, I love to garden, renovate my 1920's home, and read-read-read!
