Language and reading, especially, have inspired moments of expression, creativity, and self-worth. Mastery of history shapes the way I see and believe in the world. We are all equipped with special skills and it's exciting to uncover how we best understand a variety of subjects. I can't wait to cultivate that feeling with students across the continuum of learning.

My mind feels most focused when my body feels active so I make sure to get regular exercise, whether it's swimming, pilates, or walking around the city. A big fan of a wide range of films and TV shows, I see media as a tool to better understand myself and the world. A healthy dose of reading each day keeps my brain and my communication skills sharp. I love animals of every kind and love taking my family's dog Lucy to the park.
