A handful of the accounts I have managed include Pfizer, Unilever, Honda, Acura, the US Department of Education and the Social Security Administration.

  • Please tell us about your family.

I have been married to my husband, Derek, for nine years. He is a fellow Midwesterner who shares a love of basketball. We have two spirited daughters, Alexandra (age 3) and Helena (age 1), who keep us on our toes. Two rescued cats are also a part of our family.

  • What is your favorite STA memory?

The 1-2-3 house in Mrs. Holland’s 2nd grade class room.

I have so many other favorite memories: my wonderful classmates, playing CYO sports, participating in talent shows, and my classroom winning a computer (which was so huge and limited in what it could do) by participating in the AUL 5k run.

I loved how diverse STA was compared to other Catholic schools in the area. The students were from a wider range of backgrounds and faiths.

  • What do you like to do in your spare time?

In our spare time, my family takes advantage of DC’s many museums and attractions.

  • What words of advice would you offer a current STA student?

Make the most of your time at STA. Have fun, enjoy your studies, get involved in STA’s sports and events, and treat your classmates and teachers kindly.
