I graduated from Texas A&M University in 1984. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary, Special and Early Childhood Education. I've taught in both public and private schools. I was the co-owner of "Ready, Set, Grow Early Learning Centers" in New Hampshire. I have also worked as an educational consultant and a college recruiter.

I am the 4L teacher and the Education Coordinator for NDCC. My areas of educational interest include curriculum development, children's literature, and parent education.

I have been employed at Northern Door Children's Center since March, 2003.

I have lived in California, Hawaii, Kansas and New Hampshire, but Dallas, Texas is my home town. My life partner and I moved to Egg Harbor in 2002. We share a little house in the big woods with four awesome dogs. I love to read, I'm a published writer, and I enjoy cooking when time allows it.
