I
was born in Maryland and raised in Washington, D.C.. In addition to
teaching high school for over 15 years, I've worked as a firefighter and
as a TV news director, both in Washington, D.C.. During my TV news
career, I was fortunate to have won two Emmy Awards. I
earned my undergraduate degree in Secondary Education/Social Studies
and M.A. Ed. (adolescent behavior), both at the College of Education,
University of Maryland.
I'm
married to a special educator, have three daughters, and live in Buncombe County. I'm an avid boater
-- power and sail, and have raced sailboats, having won the prestigious
Governor's Cup a few years ago. In my spare time, I enjoy watching my
youngest play softball, playing with our two cats and two dogs, practicing photography,
and listening to a wide and diverse collection of music.
I'm thrilled to be teaching my sixth year at Martin
L. Nesbitt, Jr. Discovery Academy. I am also honored to have been named both NDA and district 2018-19 Teacher of the Year. I have a passion for teaching high school, love life's connections to history and enjoy sharing that experience with our students!
