About: 

I’m a physician and mom of three to our two St. Catherine’s girls and a baby boy. I graduated from the University of Virginia in 2011 and walked the Lawn again in 2017 from the School of Medicine. Go Hoos! I enjoy exploring the ever-changing Richmond food scene, running local trails, and keeping busy with the kids.

My daughters' hobbies/interests:

Our daughters enjoy playing soccer, gymnastics, and swimming. They also recently joined the Lower School Run Club and love getting to see their friends out bright and early on Julie Dayton field!

Things we enjoy doing as a family:

We love taking the kids on magical adventures to Disney, planning trips to Charlottesville, and hosting pizza movie nights over the weekend.

Favorite St. Catherine's tradition or memory:

I will forever cherish witnessing my daughter speak at her kindergarten class chapel in front of the entire Lower School. The poise and confidence she had developed over her first year at St. Catherine’s left me in happy tears.  

Why we chose St. Catherine's: 

We applied to St. Catherine’s because of how impressed we were by the academic rigor the school offers. My husband and I were looking for a school environment where our girls would be nurtured while becoming confident, strong women. We wholeheartedly cherish the community we have found at St. Catherine’s School.
