“For the things we have to learn before we can do them,
we learn by doing them.”
― Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics

Happily married for almost

30 years.

We enjoy working out together, renovating our home together, gardening, and traveling .

I enjoy walking, hiking and running.

We ran the Disney Marathon in 2018.

We have also run half marathons in Lincoln Nebraska, Virginia Beach, Richmond and Disney in Orlando.

3 wonderful kids

(she, he and they)

We love Disney World and have also been to Hawaii, Sicily, mainland Italy, Canada, Victoria BC, England, and Scotland.
We love New York where our oldest two children live; one in Manhattan, working for NBC's The Black List and one in Long Island finishing school.
We love Broadway and have been to over 20 Broadway plays.

A few of my favorite things...my 3 kitties: Bella, Lily, & Slate, my Labradoodle "Gigi"

and I love to bake (first attempt at macrons).

A glimpse of Before, During and After of the kitchen we recently renovated. These pictures only show one part of the renovation. We added a huge Island and took a bathroom(YES, in the kitchen) and two radiators out of the kitchen to double its size and quadrupled its cabinet space. We have renovated 3 homes dating from 1910, 1923, and 1925. I have personally demolished and rebuilt 2 kitchens and 7 bathrooms with a little help from my husband. As you can tell, I LOVE a challenge!!

We moved to Roanoke in 2019 and I took a part-time job at a Consignment shop to meet people. During the Covid19 lock-down, I realized I wanted more out of my life and since my youngest is 17, it was time for me to find my path. A Facebook ad from Roanoke City Public Schools took me down this path to Educate VA and here I am fulfilling my 10-year-old self dream of being a teacher.

I'm so excited to be seeking a position in Family and Consumer Sciences. So much of my life experiences have been wrapped up into this concentration and I am very excited to teach in this wonderful field of "life skills".
