According to Nelson Mandela, "education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
I chose to become a teacher because I want to help shape the future and make a difference in the world. I love learning and I hope to share my passion for embracing new ideas with my students. “The future belongs to the curious.The ones who are not afraid to try it, explore it, poke at it, question it, and turn it inside out.” – Anonymous |
Background |
I received my B.A. in English Language and Literature from Smith College and have a M.S. in Elementary Education (K-6) from the University of New Haven. I have also studied Ecology in Costa Rica with the School for Field Studies. Prior to pursing a career in education, I spent over ten years in communications and academic publishing— occupations also based upon the exchange of information and ideas.
