Bio:
After working in Admissions at Trinity College, I was thrilled to join the faculty at Williston in 2001. During my time at Williston, I have taught Global Studies, Geography, and Art History, and coached varsity and JV swimming, varsity and novice rowing, and varsity girls water polo. I’ve lived in the dormitory for 15 years, and now live on campus with my husband and two children. After all these years, I am so happy to be a part of a close-knit community that cares so deeply for the well-being and success of each and every student at Williston.
Education:
B.A., Art History, Trinity College, Hartford, CT, where I was a member of the Varsity Women’s Crew Team; M.A., Teacher Leadership, Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, MA
Professional Interest:
I’m a passionate reader and love to consume both current popular books as well as non-fiction books on both true crime and education.
Fun fact:
I love to travel and have enjoyed visiting colleges as far away as California, Florida, Toronto, Nova Scotia, Scotland and Abu Dhabi!
