Hi, my name is Christine!

I am an upper elementary teacher with a passion for nurturing creative and critical thinkers. 
When I am not teaching, I enjoy cooking, sailing, practicing yoga, and traveling. I have explored all over New England, trying to find the perfect lobster roll and best mountain to ski. I am originally from South Florida and moved from Charlotte, North Carolina to Boston, Massachusetts in 2018. 

I am in my eighth year as an educator and my third year of teaching fourth grade at a progressive, independent school in Boston. I am passionate about developing a dynamic curriculum that is based in research and keeps students curiously engaged through play and discovery.

Over my career, I have specialized in academically gifted and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) education with upper elementary and middle school age students. At my current school, my classroom instruction has been enriched by their emphasis on progressive education through Reggio and social justice-inspired principles. Integration of experiential learning and examination of equitable perspectives is put into practice through my development of thematic learning and STEAM-based courses. 

In all I do, I hope to guide students to learn from mistakes and feel confident in sharing their ideas.
