I am a New England native and earned my Bachelor of Arts in History degree from Gordon College. I also hold a Master of Arts in Teaching degree from Quinnipiac University. I have taught Social Studies for thirteen years, the past four at McGee's Crossroads Middle School. I have also taught in the Nash and Guilford County school systems, and for three years in Seoul, South Korea.

Having grown up in Vermont, I am a lifelong Boston Bruins, Red Sox, and New England Patriots fan. Outside of the classroom I enjoy spending time with my family and taking trips, especially to Florida, Hawaii, and the Caribbean.
