Following graduation from James Wood High School, I earned a bachelors degree in elementary education for Madison College. During a 15 year period as a first grade teacher for Frederick County Public Schools, I received a Masters in Education and Supervision from James Madison University. Those years of teaching followed by quite a few years of being a stay at her mother to my two sons, led me to becoming a substitute teacher and then lastly, a pre-K teacher at Braddock Street Early Learning Center. It is exciting to work with four and five-year-olds and their parents during the final year of preschool!

I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to do what I love and be able to teach and provide a happy “home away from home” where the children can make lasting memories!
