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".
