Bio

Hello! I am so fortunate to be in the West Genesee School District!

Being able to teach 6th grade Digital Literacy, 6th grade FACS 6 (formerly known as Home and Careers) and 8th grade Career and Financial Management (CFM) is a dream come true. All 3 of these classes teach essential LIFE SKILLS!

I have enjoyed getting to know the wonderful students here at CMS throughout the years. It truly is a special place and the BEST school I have ever worked in. I LOVE my job!

I am looking forward to meeting the new 6th grade classes this fall AND having my former 6th grade students in CFM.

🌞Have a wonderful summer!

Mrs. Boswell

Academic Background: I graduated from SUNY Cortland with a Bachelor's in Health Science, and from Syracuse University with a Master's in Nutrition Science. I also met my Registered Dietitian requirements through Syracuse University and continue to maintain my Dietetic registration.

My Health and Family and Consumer Sciences teaching certifications were through SUNY Oswego and my Childhood Education grades 1-6 certification through LeMoyne College.

I believe in being a lifelong learner. I will be taking online professional development courses this summer to improve my knowledge of virtual learning and digital tools. I also stay abreast of the latest nutrition information and trends in Career and Technical Education.

Last September, I attended a Next Generation Personal Finance (NGPF) conference in Buffalo. It was an amazing opportunity to collaborate with other educators teaching financial literacy. We will be utilizing a lot of their resources throughout the semester.

Professional Background: Prior to teaching at West Genesee, my public school teaching experience includes Home and Career Skills, Food and Nutrition, Food Science, Preschool Psychology, Hospitality, International and Regional Foods, Health, and Athletic Training 1.

At the collegiate level, I previously taught Nutrition and Food Science labs as an adjunct professor at Syracuse University, Morrisville State College and Onondaga Community College. As a Dietitian, I have worked in a variety of settings such as: home care, clinical, academic, and consulting. I have also worked in the food service industry in various capacities throughout the years.
