From volunteering in public school classrooms to full-time teaching at a parochial day school, I have been drawn over and over again to teaching. It has taken many years, however, to fully recognize that education is my vocation. 

            A native of the South, I have lived in the mid-Atlantic area for the past 20 years. All my children were students in Montgomery County, MD schools, where I was frequently involved in both volunteer activities and employed part-time in after-school programs.  I later worked professionally in independent schools as both a pre-K and kindergarten teacher. A move to the Philadelphia suburbs two years ago gave me the opportunity to take the next step in my vocation and pursue Pennsylvania certification.

            Currently my husband and I live in Wayne, PA. My pastimes include bird-watching, crossword puzzles and visits with our children. My life has been quite a journey, and I look forward to seeing what is around the next bend in the road.
