  Laura Moan grew up in Baltimore, MD, and attended Garrison Forest School, also an all-girls’ day/boarding school. Working at Foxcroft is much like a homecoming for her!
  
  

  After a terrific academic and athletic experience at Boston College, where she played goaltender for the women's lacrosse team, Laura returned to Garrison to coach and teach. Her passion for lacrosse and strong competitive drive led her to coach at the college level, where she spent more than 20 years on a number of college campuses. Just prior to coming to Foxcroft, she was Head Lacrosse Coach and Assistant Director of Athletics at Susquehanna University. Laura has earned many coaching accolades, but is especially proud of the growth and development of her players, both on and off the field.

  
  In Schoolhouse, Laura brings valuable recruiting experience from the ‘other side of the desk’ to the College Counseling Office, where she serves as Assistant Director, and works with students in the Learning Center. She is passionate about helping students define strengths and achieve goals, which are important in all three of Laura’s roles at Foxcroft.
  
  

  Laura is married to Stewart, who coaches men’s lacrosse, and they have two children, George and Lucy.

  Katie Turner 

  Administrative Assistant to College Counseling

  Read Bio

  Katie is a native of Loudoun County, having grown up in Leesburg. After her undergraduate years at University of Virginia, Katie traveled through Europe and Australia, with stops in Fiji and New Zealand, for about a year before starting a career in hospitality in Washington, DC, working closely with the World Bank and the Kennedy Center. Always eager to learn, Katie left DC and started working as a manager for a furniture company; it drove her crazy that her mother knew the difference between a Chippendale leg and a Federal leg and different styles of a Windsor chair but she did not.
  
  

  As her 30th birthday approached, Katie decided that she missed the country life so she moved to Purcellville and began working at Loudoun Country Day School while obtaining her master's in Education at Marymount University. After graduate school, Katie got a position in educational publishing sales, selling to and training educators in schools all over Northern Virginia and Maryland -- including several teachers who had taught her in elementary school!
  
  

  Somewhere during all of this activity, Katie married a handsome young man from Williamsburg named Kameron, and they moved to Middleburg where they live with their two daughters, Hays and Winley. For many years Katie was a stay-at-home mother, but with a chronic volunteering condition. Eventually, she began working at the Middleburg Community Center, where she held a variety of positions. In 2011, Katie joined the Foxcroft family as the Co-Director of fundays@foxcroft Summer Camps. When the decision to close the camps was made several years later, Katie went to work in the College Counseling Office where you'll find her today.
