My niche as an educator is rooted in my upbringing. I was raised along the shores of Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island. My connection to this unique ecology influenced my daily life and, along with some very inspiring educators, led me to my chosen profession. After graduating from the University of Rhode Island, I accepted my first teaching experience aboard a research vessel for Save The Bay. I carried the tradition of field experience to my biology classroom at Acton-Boxborough Regional High School in Massachusetts. I came to North Carolina in 2000 with my family and am currently enjoying forging dynamic learning experiences at the middle school level. Each day I strive to create a strong and positive learning experience for my delightful students at Woods Charter School.
