I’m an experienced elementary educator, professionally certified in both Massachusetts and Scotland. A life-long learner, I put off specializing as long as I could, studying film at university and then trying my hand at baking bread, selling maps, developing exhibits for museums, and even living and working on a wildlife refuge. Then I discovered teaching - the perfect way to feed my own need for continued growth while connecting and sharing with young minds. Developing meaningful and engaging lessons for upper elementary students hasn’t just made for a rewarding career - it’s also helped me to grow as a reader, writer, and thinker myself.

Now I'm excited to connect with students and families all over the world! My goal is to inspire curiosity and confidence through engaging lessons and activities. Remote learning is hard (I know - I finished the last 10 weeks of the 2019-20 school year from my kitchen table!), so it has to be fun, clear, and engaging. I'm excited to get to work!
