I started teaching with Winchester Public Schools in August 2016. I currently work with 2nd grade ELL (English Language Learner) students at John Kerr Elementary School. In my previous life, I spent thirty-five years as an ESOL teacher in Montgomery County, Maryland. I have taught at all levels, including elementary, junior high, high school, and adult education. I grew up (and still live) in Maryland and graduated from the University of Maryland... Go Terps... Fear the Turtle!

I am married (to a teacher, of course) and have three children and seven grandchildren. I spend my spare time biking on the C & O Canal and the Antietam National Battlefield. I also enjoy working on and restoring cars.
