My 28 year journey in education has allowed me to facilitate learning for students of all ages in WV, KY and now my original home, Virginia. I was born in Falls Church and grew up on Seminary Road. Belvedere is such an innovative place to work that I often feel more like a learner than a teacher. My family includes my husband Chris, my two almost grown daughters, Danielle and Josephine, and our yappy Yorkie, Mariposa. My extended family lives all over the USA and Japan and several of us are also educators and retired educators.
