A native Floridian with roots from Ft. Lauderdale, Barbara earned her
B.S.E. at Florida State University. According to Barbara, she was drawn
to Saint Edward’s by its positive and respectful environment, as well
as its small class sizes. Barbara strives to keep current in her field.
In the summer of 2002, she attended an effective leadership conference
in Wilmington, Delaware. She serves on evaluating teams for The Florida
Council on Independent Schools evaluating teams and reads educational
journals as ways of staying current in her field. She also serves on
the Indian River County Adult Literacy Board. Barbara is the mother of
three: Matthew, Paige and Meredith. Barbara’s interests have included
dancing and competitive figure skating. “The most important qualities I
bring to Saint Edward’s are my love for children and my desire to
encourage every child to meet his or her potential. I believe that if
children feel loved, respected and safe in their environment, they will
flourish.”
