Howdy Georgetown! I am glad to be welcoming you to the McCarthy community and look forward to getting to know you. A little bit about me . . . I'm from Florence, Alabama, and I graduated from the University of Virginia with a B.A. in American Studies. I was a Jesuit Volunteer in Atlanta with 9to5, National Association for Working Women, and then completed my Master of Education degree at the University of Vermont, where I advised the Senior Class Council. I like to read, sing, write, cook, and find good places to get local food. I'm a short distance runner; I love to cook and explore the outdoors alongside my better half, Dave. I'm looking forward to my second year in McCarthy and getting to know each of you. Stop by my office!
