All About Me

I started working as a PE teacher at OCE in July 2012, and it has felt very much at home with all the wonderful Clippers! I was born in Erlangen, Germany, and lived there until age 28 and then came to North Carolina. I graduated from Friedrich-Alexander-University, Erlangen, and received a MA in Economics and Physical Education, and a Minor in German. I taught Economics and PE for 2 years at a high school in Germany. I live in Cary with my husband and 2 little cats, Mila and Stella, we adopted recently. My husband and I have three children, Chris (42), Marc (34, Alexandra (24) and two grandkids, Tristan (13) and Mia (12).

I enjoy promoting Health and Fitness and am excited to be at OCE to assist our young Clippers develop a healthy attitude towards exercising and nutrition. In my spare time, I love outdoor activities like hiking, biking, swimming, Yoga and skiing. Reading, gardening, knitting and traveling are also on my favorites’ list. 

I can't wait for another wonderful year teaching students how to be active and have fun!
