A little bit about me...
I grew up in Ohio and received my BA in education at Bowling Green State University. I then taught for five years in Springfield, Ohio. After some convincing from friends, I decided to spend one of my summers in Maine. It was there that I meet my amazing husband. We were soon married. We have taught in South Carolina, Virginia, and now here in North Carolina. John and I enjoy teaching together here at Carolina Day School. We have two fun and energetic twin boys. They keep us and their first teachers very busy. This is my Fourteenth year of teaching and my sixth year at CDS. I love working here. The students and staff are fantastic. Their enthusiasm and dedication has taught me to work hard, play often, and most importantly to have fun.
