Hello and welcome!  I am very excited for the start of my second year as a Maverick here at Smart's Mill.  I am a native Leesburger and a graduate of Loudoun County Public Schools.  I hold a Bachelor's in English with a literature concentration and a Master's in Secondary Education from Christopher Newport University. (Go Captains!)  I taught English in Newport News, VA, and San Pedro, Belize before returning home to teach for LCPS.  When I'm not in the classroom, I love curling up with a good book, writing, riding roller coasters, cheering on the Washington Capitals, and cuddling with the world's best dog, Joon.  I am so excited to begin our English journey together!
