Career
I have worked as a Child Development Counselor in the Cecil County Public Schools since 1990. Prior to working in Cecil County I was a Special Education Teacher in Pennsylvania. I currently have a Masters Degree in School Counseling from Millersville University. I currently hold an Administrative I Certificate for MD. I am also working as the night manager at Sweet Devotions Cupcake and Crepery in Havre de Grace MD. While there I am able to wait on customers selling cupcakes, crepes, and coffees.

Family
My husbands name is Gary and he currently works full-time as the Parts Manager at Atlantic Tractor in Oxford PA and part-time on weekends at Glen Cove Marina as a sales associate. We have been married since 1988 and have been able to travel extensively thanks to the Agricultural Industry. Hawaii is one of my favorite places to visit.

My daughter Amy is a 2006 graduate of Perryville High School. She is attending Cecil College and hopes to attend Towson in the future to pursue a career in journalism. She is currently working full time as a waitress at the Holywood Casino and is saving money for school while continuing to find herself. She also works for AVEO productions as needed.

My son Kevin is a 2009 graduate of Rising Sun High. He attended Cecil College on a senior waiver, taking photography courses. He has been taking pictures since the 5th grade and has entered pictures in the Media Festival every year since its inception. He had attended Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara CA from January 2010 until May 2011 while pursuing a career in photography. He is currently working full-time at C&S wholesale foods to save money for new equipment.

Buttercup, my dog is a Beagle, Bassett, Jack Russell mix. She is my most loyal companion and would be by my side 24/7 if it was possible. Now she just settles for the reward of Watermelon and Ice Cream on occasion. I am sad to say that Buttercup passed away December of 2010. Jalapenio, my bunny is a Lion Mane rabbit. He resides primarily in the bathroom but loves exploring the rest of the house. Except for his love of chewing electrical cords he really fits in. He is even willing to share watermelon and caramel corn with Buttercup. Mid night, the family cat is very independent and will only engage in social contact when she wants a treat or feels the need to be petted. Tim, my son Kevin adopted a mixed puppy and named him Tim. Even though he is Kevin's puppy I am very involved in his care. He is becoming quite a well manned dog.

My extended family consists of the friends of Amy and Kevin that consider our house their home too. To them I am proud to be known as Mama Reed. They know they are always welcome and can usually find pizza, burgers, giant meatloaf cake, huge rice krispie treats, cookies or some type of baked good or candy to satisfy their never ending hunger pangs.

I became a Grandmother in May to Evan Oakley Hines. His parents are Megan and Matt Hines. Megan is Gary's daughter from his first marriage. Evan is the cutest little boy and he doesn't cry he squaxks when he wants something. In November we will be welcoming a new baby boy to the family.

I am also very proud to share my love with the Brosius family who I call the A Team. Arianne, Abrie, Addisyn, and Brian.
