I grew up in Nova Scotia, Canada and earned my undergraduate degree at St. Francis Xavier University.  I earned my graduate degree at the University of Virginia.

I moved to Virginia over 15 years ago and currently live in West Virginia with my husband and son. I have been teaching at Frederick Douglass Elementary school for over 14 years and am proud to be a Panda!  

In my free time I love to spend time with my family! We like to go hiking, skiing, and spend lots of time outdoors.
