I am looking forward to an exciting year at Discovery Elementary School.  This year I will be co-teaching with first and fourth grade classes.

I was born in Washington, D.C. and grew up in Fairfax, Virginia.  I graduated from VA Tech with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Political Science and a minor in History.  In 2016, I received my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from George Mason University.  Prior to teaching, I worked for various congressman on Capitol Hill, and for the Governors of both Virginia and South Carolina.  

My family and I have lived in Leesburg, Virginia for 17 years.  I have two daughters attending college, one at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and the other at VA Tech.  In my spare time, I love to travel, cook, read, hike and kayak.  I am also a huge Washington Capitals fan!!!!

As an ELL instructor I recognize the unique contributions all of my students can make towards our learning experiences.  Mutual respect, tolerance and high academic standards are the expectations in my classroom.  I look forward to a successful productive, and fun year.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns with your child's progress.
