I have lived in Central Vermont for a decade after growing up in Nebraska. In my nearly three decades as an educator I have become adept at supporting holistic growth in skills, knowledge, and purpose. I am passionate about my professional endeavors, generous in my community volunteering, and committed to my and my family's wellbeing via relaxation and recreation.
Please see below for a snapshot of my professional journey that led me to tutoring, mentoring, and enrichment.
