About me: I have been the Gifted Teacher at Tallwood High School since 1994, and have been excited and honored to serve the students, parents and staff of the Tallwood family. I hold a B.A. in English/Education from the University of R.I., an M.A. in English from the Pennsylvania State University, and a Gifted Endorsement from UVA.

Before coming to Tallwood, I was an Adjunct Instructor of English at Virginia Wesleyan College and Old Dominion University.  Throughout my years at Tallwood High School, I have been able to assist the gifted students and parents to make their high school experience challenging, rewarding and memorable.
