My husband Sean and I have been members of Holy Redeemer Church all our lives. We and our siblings attended school here and our families have been very active in the church and school for many years. Our children are members of the classes of 2024 and 2026. I am a special education teacher at the Center for Young Children at the University of Maryland, where I have been since 2016. Prior to that, I worked in Montgomery County Public Schools for 17 years.
