Welcome to the CHS Learning Commons! I am thrilled to be the CHS Literacy Innovation Specialist. I have been an educator for over twenty years at both the secondary and college levels. I have my bachelor's degree from Cornell University and started off my career as an English language arts and social studies teacher in Portland, Oregon. With a passion for learning, I went back to school to complete my doctorate degree in education at the University of Washington and then my library and information science degree at Southern Connecticut State University. My education and work have taken me around the country and world. Some of my most memorable experiences as a teacher have been the opportunity to visit schools in Botswana, Ireland, Japan, and Hawaii.
I live in West Hartford with my family and my three kids keep me busy outside of school. We love to travel and explore as a family and have the cutest dog, Wilson. Of course, I love to read, and will always have a book and audiobook that I am currently reading. My favorite genres are non-fiction (memoir, education, and wellness), historical fiction, and realistic fiction. I am always looking for diverse books that help me to learn about varied perspectives and opinions, especially those that differ from my own. I also enjoy practicing yoga, baking, music, and going for hikes near and far.
I am so excited to be working with CHS students and staff again. Many of you have seen me around the halls for years now as the health aide and most recently as the assistant school secretary at CMS. I live in Canton and have two children who attend Canton Public Schools.
I have a degree in Horticulture and previously owned my own floral business for many years. When I am not running my kids here and there, I enjoy relaxing at home with my family, watching the birds, and building flower gardens.
