Biography:

I have taught at Mt. Abe since 2004 as a Personalized Learning Teacher. In 2011 the Horizon's Department merged with the Pathways Program to create a continuum of personalized offerings for students. I am the teacher leader of the Personalized Learning Department. I am an advisor specializing in the Personal Development & Self Awareness Competency. I support student work in Independent Study, ILO Elective, DUO (teaching assistants), College Dual Enrollment, and Virtual High School (VHS). I also manage Challenge Diploma, HOBY Youth Leadership, and Governor's Institutes. I hold a MA degree in Educational Leadership (with K-12 Principal License) from University of Vermont, a Certificate in Management and Administration from Harvard University Extension School, and a BA degree in Human Development from Boston College. I stay active by rowing, running, biking, skiing, and gardening. I enjoy travelling with my children Jack and Lydia to beach locations or wherever Jack's favorite sports teams are playing.

Outside of the classroom I coach the Mt. Abe Rowing Club (MARC) with Ed and Mary McGuire, Bent Crum and Nan Guilmette. MARC is open to all students in grades 7-12. We row in the Fall and Spring in beautiful long boats on Lake Champlain and Otter Creek.
