What I do
I have husband and two children, Theo and Susie, and live in South Portland. I love to spend time outside: hiking, biking, gardening, swimming, paddleboarding, cross-country skiing, and sledding. I feel strongly about living sustainably and trie to impart lessons of environmental responsibility and stewardship for our planet.
I started teaching at Loranger in the fall of 2005 as an 8th grade Science teacher. In 2013 I switched to 6th grade Science, and in 2021 I moved to 5th grade Science and Social Studies. I love working with students of all ages and finding ways to keep them engaged in what they’re learning. Whenever possible, I like to get kids outside and involved in authentic experiences.
I grew up in Maine and studied Anthropology while at Wesleyan University in Connecticut. I spent a semester in Zimbabwe which opened my eyes to the world. I always loved learning about people and cultures, so after college, I moved to San Francisco where I spent six years teaching environmental and outdoor education. I moved back to Maine to be closer to family and got certified as a classroom teacher at the University of Southern Maine.
