About:
I'm fortunate to have made a career change later in life and found something I truly love doing! I graduated from the University of Richmond School of Law in May 2026 and am now beginning my career in estate planning at Virginia Estate & Trust Law. I'm originally from Pennsylvania, and my husband is from Montreal, Canada. Although neither of us grew up here, we now consider Richmond our home!
My daughters' hobbies/interests:
Our house is covered in stickers and scraps of paper because my two girls love to craft, draw, and make things! Both girls play soccer and dance (ballet, tap, and hip hop), and they love singing and putting on performances. They also spend plenty of time playing pretend, usually taking turns playing teacher to their collection of stuffies. They both take swim lessons, and my oldest also takes piano lessons at St. Catherine's!
Things we enjoy doing as a family:
We enjoy camping, walking around the neighborhood with our dog, and checking out local paint and craft places. Weekends often mean pizza and movie nights and cheering from the sidelines at soccer games. In the summer, you can usually find us at a local pool with friends and family or running through the sprinkler in the backyard.
Favorite St. Catherine's tradition or memory:
One of my favorite things has been getting to spend time in the girls' classrooms, whether it's reading to the class for a birthday or volunteering at a holiday event. It's wonderful to see them with their classmates and to see how comfortable and confident they are there.
Why we chose St. Catherine's:
As two out-of-town transplants, finding a tight-knit community was very important to us. During the admissions process, we were struck by how confident, kind, and well-spoken the older girls were. We loved the idea of an all-girls education that would help our daughters grow into capable, well-prepared young women. We also valued the small class sizes and the close relationships between the girls and their teachers. My husband and I both come from STEM-focused families, so we wanted a school where our daughters could explore interests like robotics and engineering alongside the arts, athletics, and everything else they love.
