Bio:
I was born and raised in the Washington, DC, area. I graduated from Clemson University with a B.A. in Education and a certification in Learning Disabilities. Most recently I received a CAEP certification (certificate for admission and enrollment management professionals) from AISAP and in partnership with Vanderbilt Peabody College. I first began at WES in the classroom as a faculty member and, after 22 years in the classroom, I moved to the Office of Admission as the Director of Admission and Financial Aid in 2014. With three grown children who attended four different independent schools and two universities, I also have firsthand admission experience from a parent’s perspective. I love to travel and spend time with my family and my dog, Tillman. My husband, Jim, and I have been married for over three decades, raised three awesome kids, and live in Bethesda.
