I am incredibly excited to embark on this new journey in the Friends Teacher Preparation Program and work alongside experienced educators who are passionate about creating a positive impact on young lives. This will be my first time in the classroom, but my experience working for and with children spans over a decade. After graduating from the University of Rochester with a BA in English, I worked in New York City as an actress, a proofreader for an educational publisher, and a creative manager for a children’s media company. I moved with my husband and three children to Colorado from the east coast in 2017. In my spare time you will find me reading, writing, gardening, painting, swimming, playing tennis, traveling, and enjoying everything theater.
