***Please welcome Nichole Dean to the K&Q Tiger family!***
My name is Nichole Dean and I am so excited to be joining the King and Queen County Public School team as a Library Specialist at KQES this year! After graduating from our very own Central High School in 2003, I obtained a Certificate in Child Care from Rappahannock Community College and worked in the early childhood education field for the last 18 years. My husband and I are long term King and Queen residents with two beautiful children, many dogs, a couple of cats, a gerbil, and a fish. In my free time I enjoy drinking coffee, searching for ALL of the bookstores, reading, drawing, adding DIY’s to Pinterest, and planning our next family adventure. I am looking forward to a fantastic school year!
***Please welcome Catherine Vick to the K&Q Tiger family!***
My name is Catherine Vick. I attended RCC for few years and worked on my associates while working for Riverside health systems. I will be attending Grand Canyon University to finish my bachelor's degree in elementary education. I have a 5 year old little boy. My husband works for Carter Caterpillar. My family and I live in Gloucester. Also, we have two cats named Spaghetti and Meatball. My family and I love to camp, ride four wheelers, and play in the pool or at the beach.
My Name is Tabitha Fortune (Hunter), also known as Mrs Tabi. I am very excited to be a part of King and Queen County Public Schools as a Para for 1st Grade. I am from Caroline County where I served the Rural Family Development Head Start Program for many years as Operational Clerk, Behavior Management One-on-One, and Teacher's Assistant. I love being creative, organized and being very hands-on with teaching children. I enjoy spending time with my own 6 babies, creating crafts and hands-on assignments.
***Please welcome Robin Eno to the K&Q Tiger family!***
My name is Robin Eno and I will be teaching general music at King and Queen Elementary! I graduated from Virginia Tech in 2008 with a Master's Degree in Music Education. Following my first Master's Degree I enlisted in the United States Navy as a professional musician. I served in the military for the next eight years, traveling across Europe, Africa and the United States performing musical missions.
Upon completing my two enlistments in the military I attended school at Catholic University of America, and earned a second Master's Degree in Library and Information Science. Following this I took my first position teaching as a school library media specialist at Essex High School. I served in Essex for one year teaching Digital Citizenship, Research skills, and Career Readiness. I loved collaborating with other departments and content areas.
After completing a year of service in Essex County I accepted a position teaching Pre-K (3 and 4) through third grade library media, and serving as technology coordinator for Lancaster County Public Schools. I remained in that position for three years, and it was a true blessing working with the students. I got to know each and every one of them. While teaching in Lancaster I also earned an Ed.S. in Administration and Supervision from Old Dominion University.
After serving three years in Lancaster and finishing up my Ed.S. I accepted a position teaching k-5 library media for New Kent County Public Schools. I remained in New Kent for a year before deciding that I wanted to be in a smaller school system, and am so very excited and blessed to have been offered the position of music teacher for King and Queen Public Schools.
I currently live in Mathews, VA with my husband and three children: Sophia, Clayton and Cooper. In my spare time I enjoy gardening and working on the small farm I own with my husband.
I cannot wait to get to know each and every student, and to continue to encourage and foster the joy of music!

***Please welcome Aerin Lanphear to the K&Q Tiger family!***
Hi my name is Aerin Lanphear. I grew up in rural upstate NY, no not “the city”. It took us as long to drive to NYC as it took to drive to VA. I went to college and earned my teaching degrees (Art and Family and Consumer Sciences) in NY so I didn’t think I would teach in VA. However, when this chance to teach elementary art came up I couldn’t say no!
I have a very small, close knit family. It is just me, my parents, and my daughter, Mikayla, here in Virginia and some distant extended family in NY. My parents are both retired and our plan was always to move to Virginia when my father retired in December 2019. I would not recommend the intense experience of trying to sell 2 houses in one state, buy a house in another state, and coordinate closings and moving all during a global pandemic. We have such amazing timing.
My daughter is 11 and loves horses. She takes lessons and competes in hunter/jumper competitions around the area. That takes up all “free time” along with every weekend so that is pretty much my only hobby right now, but she absolutely loves it and so do I. We are slowly starting to explore the area, I would love any suggestions on places to check out! I am really looking forward to working here at KQCS.
***Please welcome Johanna Garrett to the K&Q Tiger family!*** My name is Johanna Garrett and I am very excited to serve King and Queen County Public Schools as the PreK3 teacher at LMES! I graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in Human Development last year, and have 1 year of experience with Preschool age students. I am a Virginia Beach native but recently moved to Warsaw, VA this summer from Northern VA. When I am not in school, I can be found enjoying time with family and friends, listening to music, or finding a new coffee shop to try! I am so grateful for this opportunity to be a part of the Tiger community and learn along the way with my students!

***Please welcome Ronnie Cox to the K&Q Tiger family!*** I have served as a public high school history teacher since 1990. I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a Bachelor of Science degree in History and Social Science Education. Over the course of my career, I have taught: Economics, Sociology, World Geography, American Military History, American Civil War History, United States History and now woodworking. I coached 50 seasons of VHSL athletics over the years. These included: baseball, basketball, football and soccer. I own my own an LLC and have a Virginia state contractors business license. I love spending time with my family, reading (theology, historical nonfiction, athletic biographies), working on vehicles, an eclectic mix of outdoor activities and rabidly following the New York Yankees.
