A Bit More About Me...

Education:

I grew up in a small town on the North Shore of Massachusetts and attended my local K-12 public schools before graduating from Connecticut College. (Go Camels!) At Conn, I majored in History, focusing on Latin America, minored in Latin American Studies, and also earned a certificate in Community Action and Public Policy. Throughout my undergraduate career, I combined my interest in world history with community work in local public schools and practical learning experiences, including spending a semester abroad in Chile and Argentina.

Later, I earned my M.Ed. in Secondary Education from Lesley University. While completing my degree, I also entered a yearlong practicum at Newton North High School in Newton, MA as part of the Newton Teacher Residency. As part of this program, I spent a full year learning from veteran North teachers, building relationships with students, and developing instructional practices.
