Born in Chicago, I lived in Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont, Germany, Alaska, Arizona, Texas, and Pennsylvania before settling here in Maryland to become a teacher. I’ve called Maryland my home for the past 22 years, and I love it here!
Most people guess that I moved so much because my father was in the military. Actually, my dad was a professor and author so we moved for his career or because he was conducting research for a novel. My mother was also a professor and a poet, so I guess you could say teaching is in my blood.
I have two sons, Cade and Griffin, who attend Harford County Public Schools and are in third and sixth grade, respectively. Cade wants to be a famous musician when he grows up, and Griffin wants to be an author (and maybe a teacher).
This year will mark my 18th wedding anniversary. I met my husband, Kevin, on a blind date and we've been together ever since. We enjoy gardening, swing dancing, and sometimes my husband can be found at local Open Mic Nights playing guitar and singing while I cheer him on.
