The 2022-2023 school year is my fifth year at Baldwin. I am very excited to be returning to Team Baldwin for another year of teaching my awesome students! Teaching special education students in Kindergarten thru 2nd grade has been extremely rewarding. I have a wonderful team of teachers to work with, and together we have made huge progress with our students the past 4 years, even during virtual learning! In the past 34 years, I have worked in Culpeper County Schools as a SPED teacher at the elementary level (1 year), then I was with Prince William County Schools for 18 years as a full-time SPED teacher, in both elementary and middle school levels. While my three grown children were in middle school/high school, I was working as a substitute teacher in PWCS as well as other jobs that allowed me to spend more time at home with them. In 2012, I returned to full time teaching in the Autism classroom and then moved to MCPS in 2018.

I became a Mimi for the first time in 2018, and in June 2022, our second granddaughter was born. Our whole family was able to be together on a week-long vacation in the Outer Banks this summer. It was a delight to see our granddaughters enjoying some of the same experiences their dad and aunts had when they were young. My son, Ethan, is the daddy of both granddaughters and works as a music therapist for a hospice. My middle daughter, Abby, finished her master's degree at Liberty University and is a Children's Ministry Director at a church in Maryland, and my youngest daughter, Emma, and her husband live and work in Maryland as well. As we begin this school year, I am looking forward to another fantastic year of learning and growth from all of my amazing students and hope that we will continue to stay in person throughout the entire year!
