Maggie was born in New York and grew up in Norfolk, VA. After completing her Bachelor's Degree in Secondary Ed/Education from Old Dominion University and a Master's Degree in Urban Education/English from Morgan State, she embarked on a stellar career in education. Margaret's passion for teaching is best summed up in her own words: "One of my prime objectives as a teacher is to convince students that they can achieve more than they even thought possible. I want my students to be proud of themselves and their accomplishments, to realize that self-esteem is earned, not bestowed." Margaret was an educator for 27 years, including 13 years at Maurice J. McDonough High School and three and a half years at Yeshiva of Greater Washington. She was a member of the National Council of Teachers of English and of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in La Plata, Maryland.
