I was born and raised in Winchester and I am a proud Handley Judge. I graduated from Lord Fairfax Community College and Shenandoah University. My husband, Ken and I have a son and daughter that have grown into terrific young adults. Landen is a welder and Morgan is attending George Mason University. 

I dedicate time each day to reading for fun and journaling. I love to fish, hike and watch dirt track racing. I am a longtime and very passionate Washington Capitals fan. I have enjoyed spending this summer celebrating the Capitals Stanley Cup win! C-A-P-S!!

I am beginning my 12th year in eduacation and I am excited to serve as Frederick Douglass's Instructional Coach. I began my teaching career at Frederick Douglass and I have also taught at Virginia Avenue Charlotte DeHart Elementary School. I value my relationships with peers, families and students and the many experiences from my time at each school. I am thrilled to be returning to the FDES family. I am looking forward to working with students and partenering with teachers to continue the excellent work that is happening at FDES. Go Pandas!
