So many of our alumni tell us the strong connections made with faculty represent the defining characteristic of their time at Providence Day. We are tremendously proud of our teachers, and invite you to learn more about them.
I moved around quite a big growing up, attending 5 elementary schools in 5 years. My first move to North Carolina was at 18 years old to attend Davidson College, and my family has since relocated to Charlotte. After living in San Francisco for the last 5 years, I am happy to call Charlotte home again. I have spent my career in undergraduate admission at Davidson College, Stanford University, and UC Berkeley. Providence Day is my first independent school home! I am excited to help PD students find their best fit colleges where they will grow and thrive as young adults.

His compositions appear on the Florida, Texas, Maryland, and Georgia Orchestra Association Music Performance Assessment Lists. His compositions are distributed through JW Pepper and have been performed throughout the world. He takes pride in creating music that is fun and pedagogically sound at all levels.
Teaching Physical Education and Health is my passion. My goal is to promote the importance of lifelong physical, mental, social, and emotional health. You have to be healthy to be happy. I obtained my Bachelor's of Science Degree in Health and Physical Education from East Stroudsburg University, PA in 2010 and am certified to teach grades K-12. In the past, I substitute taught at public schools in New Jersey. Also, I coached youth soccer camps in Westmont, NJ from 2006 to 2010. In addition, I won the Outstanding Future Professional Award from East Stroudsburg University in 2009. I also served as the student representative from PA and worked on the executive board of the American Alliance of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance (AAHPERD) in 2008 and 2009. I am a lifelong learner and continue my knowledge and skills by attending workshops, conventions, and conferences related to promoting a physically active lifestyle and a healthy well-being. I currently coach middle school boys and girls soccer at Providence Day. Outside of school, I enjoy hobbies such as playing soccer, going to the beach, and spending time with my family. I love adventure activities and try to get outside as much as possible!
Providence Day School is a wonderful place to be each day. I love teaching at PDS. It is a rewarding experience to work with such passionate teachers, enthusiastic students, and loving parents. I enjoy getting students excited about learning. When I am not at PDS, I love to read, travel, exercise, do projects around my house, and especially spend time with my family and friends.
I grew up in Mauldin, SC and played collegiate basketball at UNC-Pembroke, earning a BS in Athletic Training. While earning a MS in Exercise Science from UNCP, I worked as a Graduate Assistant in Athletic Training and Women's Basketball. After grad school, I moved to Indiana to coach basketball at Saint Mary's College and work at a corporate fitness facility as an instructor and Health Fitness Specialist. I returned to N.C as a women's basketball coach and athletic trainer at Queens University. Since leaving the collegiate level, I have worked full time running Adult Sports Leagues while also running bootcamps at various locations throughout the area and coaching basketball at PD and various rec leagues. I am currently certified by the NSCA as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist.
I have been an 8th grade Girls Basketball coach since 2014 at Providence Day. This will be my 2nd year at the Varsity Level. I am excited about the opportunity to share my love of fitness and sport in my 2nd year as a PE Teacher.
After graduating from the University of North Carolina, Chapel HIll in 1992, I realized that my dream was to teach middle school English. My first teaching job was in Mobile, Alabama, and I have taught at Holy Trinity School and Charlotte Christian School here in Charlotte. In 2005, I was thrilled to accept a position at Providence Day School as a Middle School English teacher. As a Providence Day alum, I have had the opportunity to watch this school grow and change for the past 40 years. One aspect that has remained at the core of PDS is the family atmosphere and the sense of community. I am proud that my husband and I both found our calling here and that my daughters have the opportunity to experience the love and spirit of this place.
I left academic research to teach science to high school students and have never looked back. The joy of watching students discover, learn and grow is among the best experiences of my life. In addition to teaching, I love writing, editing and martial arts.
I like to say that I make plans for my life and then I "fall into" things that work out way better for me than what I had planned. My career has been no different. In college, I majored in Zoology, Pre-Med, expecting to go to medical school and become a psychiatrist. After deciding to take a year off to work before going to medical school, I fell in love with biomedical research and decided to get a Ph.D. instead. After graduation, my career took me to teaching at a community college and then science writing and editing. I finally got back in the classroom in 2020, this time at PD. I love getting to know the students and trying to incite in them a love of science or at least help them not hate it. My connections with students and getting to know who they are what really interests them are my favorite two things about teaching.
Although I'm originally from Connecticut and New Jersey, my husband and I moved to Charlotte in 2006 and have made NC our home. We have two daughters, who came to PD in 2019 at the same time I started teaching here. I have worked with a variety of ages, in a range of settings, including preschool, public and private elementary school, and at Belmont Abbey College. I am passionate about connecting with my young students, and helping them find the joy in learning every day.
As a child I grew up in a military family and found myself moving routinely. I grew to love exploring new locations and learning the history and culture of each place I lived. This caused me to pursue a career in teaching History. I received my MA in Secondary Education and my undergraduate degree in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences from James Madison University. I joined Providence Day School last year after teaching in Charlotte and Virginia where I taught World History, A.P. U.S. History, and Sociology. I love the welcoming culture of Providence Day School and enjoy the enthusiasm and curiosity of the students!

Later, she began developing Writers Workshop for Lower School teachers and students, where her current position is Writing Resource Instructor.
I love children and their joyful spirit, so it is no surprise that I fell in love with teaching. The enthusiastic curiosity and excitement they exhibit is inspiring and rewarding. When I began working at Providence Day School, I quickly realized what a wonderful place I had joined. Working with first graders is full of new and fun experiences. The children bring so much joy, and I am grateful to be part of the Providence Day School community. My bachelor's degree is in art and I earned a master's degree in elementary education. It is fulfilling to be able to connect my passions of art and teaching in the classroom each day. I enjoy watching and participating in sports, being outside, spending time with family and friends, and traveling.
