This is my 46th year of teaching middle school students and my 11th year of teaching in South Carolina. I had previously taught seventh grade science for 35 years at Amity Middle School in Bethany, Connecticut.
I graduated from Southern Connecticut State University and received my Secondary Education degrees in Biology, Chemistry, and General Science.
Besides my love of teaching, I have been a head coach for 35 years of high school varsity volleyball, winning four state championships, Connecticut High School Coach of the Year honors in 2006, was one of eight finalists for National High School Volleyball Coach of the Year in 2007, and I retired with a 573 – 187 win-loss record. In 2014, I was inducted into the Connecticut Volleyball Hall of Fame. This October I am being inducted into my high school Hall of Fame.
