Bio

I have been an educator for more than thirty years with most of those years in Episcopal schools working at all levels from early childhood through upper school. I have served in many different roles in schools including teacher, dorm parent, coach, advisor, lower school principal, upper school principal, early childhood director, and head of school. Inspired by colleagues and students, my journey has been one filled with great joy as I am continuously learning and growing as an educator and person. 


I live in beautiful Southern California and do my best to take advantage of all that it has to offer including hiking, relaxing by the ocean, and learning how to surf (which is a very humbling experience!). My husband and I have four adult children, an elderly cat named Tigger, and Cooper, our dog.  I am looking forward to getting to know everyone in Episcopal schools in my new role as Associate Director of NAES.
