I’m originally hailing from the state of Wisconsin. My life, however, has been quite the global adventure. From the dynamic region of the DMV to diverse overseas locations, my family and I have relished our journey, spurred largely by my partner’s career.
Education has been my constant companion and passion throughout these travels. I fell in love with the profession while living in Germany and since then, I’ve been privileged to experience various educational systems across numerous countries. One thing I’ve learned is that, no matter where I find myself, I have a knack for weaving together vibrant, inclusive classroom communities. Being a staunch advocate for concept-based and inquiry-led education, I strive to cultivate an environment that nurtures curiosity and critical thinking. My belief is that this approach fosters independent thinkers, equipped to explore the world with confidence.
I’m a self-confessed technology nerd. Integrating the latest educational tech into my classroom is something I thoroughly enjoy, as it not only enriches learning but also equips our children for the digital future that awaits them.
Outside of my professional life, I’m a proud mom to three energetic teenage boys who keep me on my toes. Our family is completed by a lively crew of two dogs and three cats. In my spare time, I can be found hiking nature trails, hunting for treasures in thrift shops, soaking up the energy at concerts, or satisfying my never-ending desire to learn new things.
