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. This is my 30th year working at WES as a teacher and administrator. I first began 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 have firsthand admission experience from a parent’s perspective, too. I loves to travel and spend time with my family and my dog, Tillman. My husband, Jim, and I have been married for 32 years, raised three awesome kids, and live in Bethesda.
