About:
I am originally from New York and now happily rooted in Richmond, where my husband, Will, and I are raising our two children. I’m a stay-at-home mom who loves being involved in my children’s school and activities. Outside of family life, you can usually find me on the tennis court, planning our next family adventure, or gathering friends and family around the table for a good meal and even better conversation.
My daughter's hobbies/interests:
My daughter loves dance, tennis, gymnastics, swimming, and being on stage whenever she gets the chance.
Things we enjoy doing as a family:
We love spending time together and getting outside whenever we can. Some of our favorite family days are spent in Charlottesville picking apples or blackberries, exploring somewhere new, or enjoying time outdoors. We also love traveling, spending summer days at the pool, cheering on the kids at their activities, and gathering with family and friends.
Favorite St. Catherine's tradition or memory:
The Opening Ceremony is one of my favorite St. Catherine’s traditions. There’s something so special about coming together as a school community to kick off a new year! I also loved the Kindergarten Valentine’s Day Tea with the St. Christopher’s kindergarten class. It was such a sweet, memorable tradition and one of my favorite memories from my daughter's kindergarten year.
Why we chose St. Catherine's:
We chose St. Catherine’s because we were drawn to the strong sense of community, the emphasis on both academics and character, and the way the school truly gets to know each child. From our very first interactions with the school, we felt welcomed and could see how much the teachers and faculty care about helping each girl grow into who she is. We wanted a school where our daughter would be challenged to learn, encouraged to try new things, and surrounded by a community that would support her every step of the way. Most importantly, St. Catherine’s felt like a place where our daughter could be happy, confident, and truly herself.
