Debbie received a B.A. in Arts for Children and Elementary Certification at SUNY in Brockport, NY. She taught in the Abington School District for 5 years, and for more than 20 years taught creative ballet to preschool and early elementary school children, along with raising her own children.

She enjoys going to the beach, running, skiing, and spending time with her family.

Debbie has served on various church committees at St. Andrews, including Christian Education, Worship and Music, and the Youth Committee. When St. Andrews began talking about an addition to the building, Debbie thought the time was right to pursue her dream of starting a preschool. With the help of dedicated members of St. Andrews who formed her Board of Directors, her dream became a reality. She feels blessed to be working with such a supportive Board of Directors, a very talented and creative staff and to have the opportunity to meet so many wonderful families.
