About me
I (she / her / hers) graduated from Cambridge College with a Master of Education degree in Instructional Technology. I graduated from Bridgewater State College in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education and Movement Arts. I just completed my 11th year of teaching at Natick High School where I started the Web Design program and have taught various Creative Technology courses over the years. Having worked in several public and private school settings and adult education I have found a strong love and enjoyment for teaching in a wide range audience.
My current and past employment positions have given me extensive computer experience and have made me proficient in Website Building, Microsoft Works, Google Suite, Adobe Suite, Constant Contact, Blogs and Social Media. Being accepted into the Adobe Education Leaders group I have been able to showcase my work and my student's work with educators from across the world. Adobe Education Leaders are educators who use their unique abilities and expertise to promote excellence in education through the integration of Adobe solutions in the classroom, school and district.
In addition, I am a mother of three amazing and energetic children. Having children with complex medical backgrounds I have personal experience of dealing with 504 and IEP plans in addition to Early Intervention and Mental Health services. My challenging and competitive work experiences have included a strong foundation in leadership, organizational skills, time management and computer skills. In addition, running in several marathons and volunteering in various charity events has given me the ability to display my dedication to causes beyond myself.

"My Teacher Website acted as a one stop shop for my student's. It also gave me a place to organize myself and create a backup of my curriculum over the years.
~ High School Teacher
"Mrs. Smith's Website was organized, simple and easy to follow which made her class even easier to follow along with each day."
~ High School Student
"It was very helpful that my child's teacher had a Website. I was able to visit her site to quickly learn what was being covered in class and what assignments my student needed to complete each evening.
