I am looking forward to a wonderful year!  This will be my 21st year teaching here at "The Creek" and during my time here, I have taught first, second, and fourth grade.  Currently, I have the privilege of serving as Winding Creek's Literacy Specialist.  I am originally from Huron, Ohio (right on Lake Erie) but have lived in Virginia since 1999.  I attended Bowling Green State University for my undergraduate studies and earned a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education.  I earned my master's degree in education with a Literacy Specialist endorsement from the Univeristy of Mary Washington.  My husband and I both work for Stafford County Schools and are the proud parents of two children, both of whom attended WCES.  Our daughter Helena is a freshman at Colonial Forge High School and our son Cameron is in 8th grade at Rodney Thompson Middle School.  We also have 2 fur babies: Charlie (our 7 year old goldendoodle) and Squeaky (our 10 year old cat).  In addition to everything I love about working with children and working here at WCES, my family and I also enjoy kayaking and spending time at the beach.  We're also frequently found at the volleyball court cheering for Helena and at various long distance races cheering for Cameron.
