After earning a BA at Calvin University, I taught high school Philosophy, Psychology, and Creative Writing at a bilingual school in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. It was there that I fell in love with all things teaching and learning.
Since then, I’ve worked as a middle school English teacher in Nashville, Tennessee, a community college honors advisor in Spokane, Washington, and an advisor and instructor at the George Washington University Honors Program in DC. I also earned my MA in Curriculum and Instruction from the GW Graduate School of Education.
When I’m not teaching, you can find me lost in the pages of a book, scribbling away on stories of my own, or hiking a trail with my husband. I also love to swim–my happy place is a lake in the summertime.
I am thrilled to be part of the McLean School community. When I first set foot in McLean, I knew I was somewhere special–a place where ideas and creativity abound, and where each student is valued for who they are. My goal is to inspire my students to learn at the deepest levels and realize their own unique power in the process.
Remember who you are. -Mufasa.
