Hello! I'm so happy to be a part of the RSES staff. I began my CCPS career in August 2006 at the Central Office working in Human Resources. I worked in HR for 9 years and then accepted a transfer to RSES to be closer to family and home and also for the opportunity to work in the school environment. I am constantly learning and growing along with the students in our school and every day is a new and wonderful experience.

I have an amazing grandson that I enjoy spending time with. My hobbies include crocheting, reading, and watching the Hallmark Channel.

Hello everyone, I am currently working on my 15th year with Rising Sun Elementary School and have worked as a Secretary for 30 years. I was previously employed with Mercantile County Bank and moved to Rising Sun Elementary School when my family and I built our home here in Rising Sun, Maryland.

My husband David and I have two amazing children. This year, Emily graduated Cecil College for Business Administration and Paralegal studies and our son Jackson has started his Electrical Apprenticeship with Harford Community College and has completed his first year.

Our daughter will be getting married in November, so this has kept us busy. In our spare time we love going to Outer Banks, gardening, and fishing.

Hello! This is my 17^th year at the front desk at Rising Sun Elementary School. It all started while volunteering for my daughter’s class. A job opened up and I’ve been here since. I love watching the children from this school grow up, come back and tell us where they are now.

My husband and I just celebrated our 32^nd wedding anniversary. We have two wonderful children. Kyle is married to Sarah, lives and works for Delaware’s government and Julie will graduate this December from Towson University with a degree in Early Childhood Education. We also have two dogs we spoil rotten, Buster and Stella.

We love going to Orioles and Ravens games, as we are season ticket holders. And when school is out we are either in the pool or on the beach in Delaware.
