I was born in Philadelphia (Mount Airy/Chestnut Hill Section)I am the 
youngest of 6 children. My mother is a former Captain in the United States 
Army during WWII. She received 4 purple hearts. She was a registered nurse 
for 52 years. She was also one of the first 5 trained cardiac nurses in the 
country. My father was a sergeant in the USMC during WWII. He later served 
as a Philadelphia Firefighter for over 30 years.
 I recieved my high school education from Cardinal Dougherty High School and 
later went on to recieve my further education from Chestnut HIll College. 
Some of my teaching expereince has been in Philadelphia Schools as well as 
Ephiphany of Our Lord in Norristown.
  I have 2 children who have attended MDP School. My daughter,Julia, is now 
16 and attends Archbishop Carroll High School and my son, Joe, who is in 8th

 I love working with the children in the library. If you have any questions
