“I love everything about GA. If I could have designed my ideal job, I couldn’t have come any closer than working at GA- coaching, teaching, traveling, working in all three divisions of the school, meeting prospective families, participating in Belfry, attending games, concerts, plays. Work always turned into fun,” she said.
