About Me: I have been married to my husband, Stan for 23 years. We have three children: Maggie (19), a freshman at Wellesley College in Boston; Mick (16), a sophomore at North Atlanta High School, who plays
soccer and the cello; and Molly (12), a seventh grader at Sutton Middle School, who loves performing. I spend most of my free time volunteering at my children’s schools or attending their athletic events and performances. While in my “former life,” I was a lawyer and lobbyist. I have found my real passion in serving preschool aged children and their families.
