I am originally from White River Junction, Vermont and earned my Bachelor of Arts in History and Political Science degree from Gordon College. I also hold a Master of Arts in Teaching degree from Quinnipiac University, with concentrations in Secondary Education and Social Studies. I have been teaching for fourteen years, the past five at McGee's Crossroads Middle. I have also taught in the Nash and Guilford County school systems, and for three years in Seoul, South Korea.

As a native New Englander, 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 and the Caribbean.
