I was born and raised in Saint Louis. After college, I pursued her M.B.A. while working in finance as a research analyst in NYC. After 9/11, I returned home to become a teacher. I taught at an independent school in the area while achieving my M.A.T. Before becoming director of Ladue Chapel Nursery School, I taught in the purple, green and orange room and was assistant director to Karen Valvero. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my 13 year daughter, traveling, reading and needlepointing.
