I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Early Childhood Education from James Madison University, and taught in various Virginia public schools for nine years before starting my family. I homeschooled my three sons from kindergarten to high school for about fifteen years and enjoyed teaching Literature/Geography at Providence for four years during that time. Providence gave my sons classroom experience, friendships, and social interactions that supplemented their learning at home. I am looking forward to returning to Providence as an elementary Literature/Geography teacher this fall.
