I am excited to join the CHP faculty as a member of the Middle School Science Team!

My educational background includes completion of a Master’s program in Environmental Education at the University of New Hampshire. With thirteen years of Middle School Science teaching experience at independent schools in New Jersey, I have taught 8th grade Science at other noteworthy independent schools in New Jersey.

Throughout my career, I have established myself in the field of Science by leading several workshops and presentations to other educators at state and regional conferences. Most recently, I have served as the Director of Curriculum and Program Development at Snipes Farm and Education Center, where I started the Leading Empowered Action on Farm and Forest Program (L.E.A.F.F.).

It is my philosophy that students learn by doing.  Through my experiential learning program, I hope to impart to my students a strong Science foundation that will help them to better understand the world.  Students will leave my classroom with the skills and tools that will help guide them to take action on important issues affecting our society, such as energy usage and climate change.
