I was born and raised in Winchester and attended Frederick County Public Schools!  I received my Bachelors in Psychology with an endorsement in Elementary Education from Shenandoah University in 1998.  I began my teaching career in Winchester Public Schools, where I taught Kindergarten for 7 years.  I then taught in Frederick County Public Schools for 16 years, where I taught K and 1st grade.  I have now returned to WPS and am so excited to be back!  

I am married and have three sons and two dogs.  I enjoy reading, watching movies, and snuggling with my dogs!
