Born in York, Pennsylvania, Peggy earned degrees at Wilson College and the University of Arizona, which prepared her to teach Spanish at the college level — the longest stint being at Denison University for more than 14 years and finishing her career with The Ohio State University for seven years part-time.
Peggy has always been in love with “the arts”, studying piano, later getting involved with composition, modern dance as dancer and choreographer and poet and songwriter in English and Spanish.
Another interest is archaeology and Peggy has been on “digs” in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Virginia, and Belize.
Once she came to Plant City, the teaching “bug” hit her again and she tutored Hispanic children for 13 years with Pastor Julio Santana’s afterschool program. She has been a member of the Woman’s Club of Plant City since 2008 and has served in a variety of positions including First Vice President, Treasurer and on various service committees and fundraising events.
We are so thrilled to have Peggy on the Arts Council Board of Directors, and we truly appreciate her for sharing her many talents with us.
