Maggie and her husband Wayne served in Papua New Guinea from 1996-2018. Their three children grew up there and graduated from Ukarumpa International School (UIS) before returning to the US for college. Now adults, each of them would say they wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.

Maggie was involved at Ukarumpa International School for almost 23 years. During those years she served as Primary School Librarian, Secondary Campus English and Drama teacher and also as the Drama Director. From 2012-2018 Maggie was the Assistant Principal at the Secondary campus (grades 6-12) and was in charge of overseeing student life.
