My experience contributes to the mission and vision of the LHJH culture. I have taught multiple grades and content for 21 years, and I understand the RISD community because of my experience as a teacher, a student, mom of students in the RISD, and wife of a PTA President in the RISD.

I am a certified trainer in continuous improvement, utilizing tools for improvement in the classroom, with individual students, teachers, and overall school improvements.

I have been a STEM teacher and innovator and facilitated RISD professional development, utilizing PBLs to encompass high impact instructional and learning strategies.
