Hello! Thanks for connecting! You'll find me at Odyssey Multiage Program, where I've taught first and second-graders for lots of years. I've worked in many schools, in many places, for over 20 years, always teaching some combination of first through third grade. I'm a strong proponent of student-directed learning and the multiage model, embracing individualization, creating a community of learners, and guiding students towards independence.

When not in the classroom, I enjoy reading fiction, making messes in the kitchen, and spending time near water.
