After 15 years as English teacher and English department chair at Bexley High School, I left the classroom to become a middle/high school administrator. I started as assistant principal at Whitehall-Yearling H.S., then moved to Whitehall Middle School as principal. Five years later, I became principal of Middle School West in the Gahanna-Jefferson School District.

When my husband Bill retired from Bexley City Schools, we moved to North Bank, which had just completed construction. We loved watching the building fill up with wonderful neighbors whose company Bill enjoyed until his death in 2021 at the James Cancer Hospital. Our beloved golden retriever Chloe and I miss him, as do the many friends he made here.
