Group experience
Put on your robe & slippers, get yourself a mug of cider or tea and a wedge of cheese. Perhaps a meat pie or piece of Lembas bread? And then there's always 'taters... whatever makes you feel cozy and offers some respite along your journey. Come gather 'round a great big virtual table in my snug little hobbit hole and join me as we create a fellowship with friends from all over who love the magical world created by author JRR Tolkien in his books 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings.' As your hobbity moderator, I'll visit the group often (acting a little like a wizard - arriving never too early, nor too late... but precisely when I mean to!) and join in the conversation, share passages from the books for discussion, post pictures and instructions for LOTR themed projects, and to spark conversation and engagement with monthly themed challenges... Build your own mini-hobbit hole (inside or out!) and share pictures! Bake Elven bread with a provided recipe! Show us how many ways you can cook 'taters! Show off your Middle Earth themed costumes! Share pictures of places that belong in the Shire or other well-known locations in Middle Earth! Write ballads to be sung and poetry to be recited! Create banners for your castle, or bunting for your next birthday celebration! This group is open and welcome to all levels of Lord of the Rings & Hobbit fandom. No one knows too much or too little... it's a fun place where we can learn from each other!

Teacher expertise and credentials
I grew up homeschooling in the woods of Maine and along the coastal shores of a small New Jersey island town.
My summers were spent at Girl Scout camp and traveling across the country on scouting adventures primarily focused on the outdoors and history - like a wagon train traversing the North Dakota prairie and hiking & camping along fur trade routes in Wisconsin. As a GS Gold Award recipient, my final project was implementing an outdoor day camp program for Special Olympians - because I have always believed that outdoor learning and fun should be accessible to everyone.
I went on to study Theology at a small private college and then spent time living in Far East Russia - where I ran camp programs for children in rural villages, youth centers, and inner-city parks.
I have nearly 20 years of experience working in living history museums, where I've demonstrated and taught period crafts and domestic arts, run educational programs and special events, researched and created staff costuming, and was the camp director for one of the few railroad themed summer camps in the USA.
I homeschooled my children from kindergarten through graduation. I've also owned a Montessori school, helped facilitate two Sudbury-inspired learning cooperatives, and founded two inclusive homeschool support groups that offered guidance for parents and a full range of weekly classes for students of all ages.
I'm a master-level Forest Kindergarten teacher and happily at home outside, sharing my love of nature with kids - no matter the weather!
I have BFA in Arts & Letters, with a concentration in Socially Engaged Art from Prescott College.
In my "spare time,” I'm a writer, musician, and all-around creative and hobbity sort of person.

I have many years of experience working to create spaces that are safe and inclusive for LGBTQ+ and neurodiverse young people. I enjoy helping all my students learn, share their interests, and practice group social skills. It's always my endeavor to foster a classroom space where everyone can share, be heard, and participate in the most comfortable and enjoyable way for them. I believe in facilitating spaces of kindness, patience, and gentle correction when needed. Please message me if you have concerns about how your child might best be included in and enjoy my classes!
