Hi all! I am originally from the north shore of MA but went to school near Harrisburg, PA. After college I spent 6 wonderful years in PA as both a Kindergarten teacher and a PreK TA. My husband Gabe and I just moved to Portland ME to be closer to my family, as we are expecting baby number one at the end of October! We are also the proud parents of two orange tabbies, Desi and Milo. Looking forward to collaborating with you all this year!

Hello.  I am excited to be at SAU #61 in Farmington, NH.  My path in education continues to expand from my initial work as a 7-12 mathematics teacher in New York to my current work as the Director for Curriculum and Instruction at Farmington.  I recognize, however, that it is the collective leadership of administrators and teacher-leaders who together influence and shift the culture and climate of a school district to advance student achievement and personal growth. This understanding springs from my work with the New York State Department of Education to advance curriculum and instructional shifts to focus on learning standards, learning objectives, and student-centered learning.
I look forward to working with the CCL Consortium to advance my own learning so I can support and facilitate an understanding of learning progressions and how these guide teachers and engage students in a positive educational experience that is mutually beneficial.
