I have lived in Cincinnati my entire life and attended Purcell Marian HS, Xavier U (undergrad) and UC (grad school).  I taught for 31 years in public and private schools in the areas of special ed and religious education. 

I have been involved in high school sports as a volleyball and basketball official, and commissioner of the Girls Greater Catholic League (GGCL). 

My family and I are all fans of our professional and college sports teams.  We love the arts and attend many performances by the symphony, musical companies, and plays.  I also spend time at the St. Anthony Center on Liberty Street as a volunteer in the foot clinic.
