St. John’s College- B. A. Classical Liberal Arts (1979)
I’ve been a part of the fabric of Parkmont since we took up residence on 16th Street in 1990, and I really just remained onsite as I’d been part of the Somerset community for three years prior to that. A proud graduate of St. John’s College in Annapolis, a fiercely distinctive and intimate program, I was drawn to Parkmont maybe due to the similarity of the two schools. I stuck around because of the people, and because each of the many hats I’ve worn is based in a passion of mine: I coordinate the Parkmont Poetry Festival, teach a Research Writing boot camp to get seniors ready for college, have advised senior petition writing as long as I’ve been here, and have helped lead the school through two accreditation cycles. When I’m not doing any of that, I’m acting on DC-area stages or narrating audiobooks. Among my favorite Parkmont adventures was having a student teach me to ski on an overnight trip to Blue Knob!
