About Me
I have been teaching for 17 years, the last 11 of which have been at Bolton. I have also taught in private and charter schools.
I have 2 children: William is 13 and Tess is 11. They are both in the gifted program at Barret's Chapel Elementary and both are involved in athletics, scouting, and community service.
I enjoy traveling and try to go abroad once every other year. When I'm not traveling, I'm found reading, drinking tea, training for my next 5K or half marathon, or participating in any number of activities to benefit the community.
