Biography
I am thrilled to be teaching and learning with the students and staff at GSA! I have worked as an educational professional with nearly twenty years of experience. My educational background is diverse, both geographically and demographically. I have worked with varied cultural and ethic student populations, in urban and suburban schools, small town and rural settings, working within the educational systems in Alaska, New Jersey, Arizona, New York, and Colorado. With each new teaching post, my skills and abilities evolved to include serving students identified as Gifted and Talented, Special Needs, At Risk, and Language Learners in 6th through 12th grade. I have taught Special Education; English Language and Literature; Creative Writing; Theory of Knowledge and other IB courses; Sociology; Psychology; Gender Studies; and Film Studies. My family and I moved to Maine in 2021 and have had the best time exploring the outdoors with our four dogs. In addition to my passion for teaching, I love gardening, cooking, hiking, kayaking, reading, and crocheting.
