I graduated from Salem College in 1983 with a major in Psychology and a
minor in Education. I am certified in Early Childhood Education. While
teaching, I completed my Master's program in 1986 through Converse College
in Elementary Education. I have enjoyed a variety of experiences
since beginning my career and am excited about teaching at Augusta Circle
again this school year. I am married to Andy and we have three children.
In my spare time, I like to spend time with my children, garden, read and sew.

and experiences.
