I absolutely love helping all students learn something new. I attended Vassar College for my undergraduate degree, where I majored in History, and The Catholic University of America for both my Master's and Doctorate degrees in Historical Musicology. I am a classically trained soprano, and there is always a song in my head. I have two sons in college and two dogs. My strongest personal philosophy is to find the humor in any situation. Laughter can help solve problems in so many ways.

Swimming, Singing, Baseball, Theatre, especially opera and musical theatre, music (all kinds as long as it is well-done), arts & crafts. My interests are broad and eclectic, which makes me able to engage in a wide variety of activities. I'm offbeat, but never boring.
