Favorite Interaction With Students
When they come to my office to share their latest writing or read a passage out of a book they weren't able to read before.

Most Inspiring Graland Program
I enjoy the Buddy program, which helps Lower School and Middle School students connect throughout the year. Often, these friendships last long after the school year is over. I love to hear an eighth grader introduce me to someone and say, "This was my buddy in Kindergarten!"

Why I Work at Graland
It’s a community where everyone is committed to doing what is best for children.
 
Favorite Graland Moment
When we opened the Early Childhood Learning Center in 2012.

Graland Trip I Love
I love going to La Foret and seeing some students sleep away from their families for the first time. Then, by the end of the trip, they’re so confident!

Professional Passion
My passion is supporting teachers and brainstorming solutions and the best avenues to support students and families. Working with our students makes me very optimistic about the future because we have amazing young leaders who have a passion for making the world a better place.

Fun Fact
In elementary school, I received an award for reading all eight books of the "Little House on the Prairie" series in one year.

Life Goal

Visit all the seven continents!

Outside Graland I’m...
Traveling and exploring new places and spending time with my grandchildren.

Favorite Childhood Memory
One of my favorite memories was when my Dad would set up the 8mm movie projector and turn off the lights, and the whole family would watch black and white movies from past vacations, birthdays, and holidays.
