My Story

I am thrilled to serve as the Academic Coach and Assistant Coordinator of Learning Services in the Upper School. I consider teaching and mentoring to be my life’s work and have over twenty years of experience working with students. 

Early in my career, I began as a classroom teacher in one of Montgomery County’s excellent Public Schools in Rockville, Maryland. I went on to work at local colleges in the DC metropolitan area; my most recent experience was as the counselor for American University’s Learning Services Program. I enjoy building relationships with students and supporting them in their academic work. I have a BA in English from Vassar College and a MAT from Johns Hopkins University.

As a mom of two wonderful sons, I understand the hope many of us have for our children to be seen, heard, and truly known. McLean School is a place where children can thrive. Our school fosters strong relationships as faculty and staff are deeply devoted to supporting each student and to creating an inclusive environment. I am so fortunate to work at McLean and look forward to meeting you soon.
