My Story

I was born in Huntsville, AL, but grew up mostly in Stafford, VA.  I earned 
a B.S. in Mathematics at Longwood College in Farmville, VA and a M.S. in 
Strategic Intelligence at the Joint Military Intelligence College in 
Washington, DC.  While at Longwood I played varsity golf and served as the 
Cadet Battalion Commander of the school's Army Reserve Officer Training 
Corps detachment.  I accepted a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the 
Active Army, and served for almost 15 years in numerous locations throughout 
the world including Colorado, Arizona, Republic of Korea, Japan, and 
California.  While on active duty I commanded a Counterintelligence Company 
of over 50 soldiers and Korean civilian employees in the Republic of Korea.  
I taught Basic Leadership to freshmen at the University of Southern 
California.  Additionally, I was a member of the All-Army Golf Team and 
captured the title of Army Women's Champion eight years, and the Armed 
Forces title six years.  After leaving active duty I served 5 1/2 years in 
the Virginia Army National Guard.  I retired from military service as a 
Lieutenant Colonel in August 2007.  

I live at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, and enjoy spending 
time with my United States Marine Corps husband of nine years, Bob, and two 
children, Connie (daughter, 7) and Taylor (son, 6).  I also try to play golf 
as much as possible, and still relish the opportunity to play 
competitively.    

I am excited to be at Indian Creek School.  I love the caring and friendly 
environment, and especially the opportunity to be working with such great 
kids!
