Hello! I'm Barbara and I am originally from Buffalo- GO Bills! I have a AAS in Criminal Justice, BS in Elementary Education and Social Studies and a MS in Reading. I taught for 40 years in 15 different schools in New York, Germany, Kentucky, South Carolina,

Virginia, Texas, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. I have taught everything from first grade through high school, and 27 of those years were spent as a reading specialist. I married an Army officer 44 years ago in Baumholder, Germany. I have a son, a daughter and three darling granddaughters. We moved to Concord, NC in 1999 when my husband retired from the Army. I was the reading specialist at Cannon School and left in 2020 moving to Charleston, SC. I currently serve on the boards of the Riverstone Charter High School and the Zucker School of Education at The Citadel. In Charleston. I also work in the education department at Patriots Point Maritime Museum. I have been a member of NCRA and GCRA since 1999, and I've been membership chair, treasurer, president and YA chair for GCRA. I continue to serve on the GCRA

board. I have been an Area Director three separate times (total of 12 years) and was the NCRA State Coordinator for 6 years. My hobbies are reading, sewing, crafting, scrapbooking and reading to my granddaughters about princesses and dragons.
