What I do

I live in Old Orchard Beach with my husband and fellow educator, John Nye. We have four adult sons, who all work in education and/or science fields. We have several grandchildren and love spending time with our extended family. We also like to travel, and we’ve visited many states and countries. I’m a member of the Old Orchard Beach Conservation Commission, and John and I help maintain trails. I enjoy exploring Maine’s natural resources and historic sites and getting students outdoors to investigate their world.

I started teaching at Loranger in 2013. I was a literacy specialist and curriculum integrator before moving to the gifted and talented program in 2018. My husband and I taught at the International School of Belgrade in Serbia from 1985-1988. We moved to Old Orchard Beach in 1990 and raised our four children here. Between 1988 and 2013, I was a freelance writer and editor for educational publishing companies. I serve on the OOB Conservation Commission and love connecting students with our community and environment. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, exploring Maine, and spending time with family and friends.
