Bio:
I graduated from the University of Vermont and received my Master of Education degree from Lesley University. I have 21 years of teaching and educational consulting experience. Originally from Massachusetts, I have resided in the DMV area for over 18 years and live in Alexandria with my two daughters, Bryn and London, and doggy, Tessa. I love spending time with my kids and watching them compete on their crew and soccer team’s, cooking and eating yummy food, shoe-shopping, going to the beach, and spending time in nature.
