I am a fairly new resident of Hampton and the Tide Mill Machen area. I am really pleased with the very active participation of the community members. Personally, I have been married to a wonderful chef and high school instructor for 11 years and we have 4 children, two of whom attend Machen Elementary. Professionally, I am a Licensed Special Education teacher, certified in the areas of mental retardation, specific learning disabilities, and emotional disturbance. I currently work from home as a loan officer for West Star Mortgage and a private tutor. I look forward to further dialogue and involvement with my fellow community members.
