About Me

I am the mother of three boys and a girl, all Flint Hill Huskies. I enjoy outdoor adventures and am passionate about all things health and fitness. My family has been at Flint Hill for several years and we have been fortunate to have made many new friends. This is truly a special school community. I strongly believe in the importance of volunteering and giving back to both our local and school community.

How Flint Hill has helped your child(ren) realize what is possible and blaze a trail.

At Flint Hill there is a strong, supportive, and collaborative environment. My kids are all very different and their teachers have always found ways to connect with and challenge them to be their best and to take meaningful risks. They are all sincerely happy at school and feel safe taking risks whether it’s a new subject, sport, or a fine art. Flint Hill’s core values coupled with second-to-none educators, resources and facilities have been the right environment for my kids to thrive both personally and academically. I know with certainty that the faculty and administration know my four children and are there to support them in whatever educational paths they choose. As a parent, that’s all I can hope for.

Flint Hill's small class sizes and engaging teachers have helped inspire a love of learning in our children. They of course have their moments of challenges, but after-school office hours and Flint Hill's emphasis on self-advocacy provide plenty of opportunities for assistance in areas of difficulty.
