The school year 23/24 will be my first year teaching and I am so excited to be at the STEM! I have always enjoyed math and science and hope to pass on my love for these subjects with my students. Outside of the classroom you can typically find me spending time with friends, reading a good book, or traveling. I look forward to getting to know all my new students and their families!

English Language Arts (ELA) and Social Studies

I love teaching in urban communities. My background is in ESL which allows me to connect with and reach learners from various backgrounds. I’ve been teaching for 14 years. This will be my third year in Lowell.

Math and Science

The 22/23 school year is my first year at the STEM Academy after teaching in Boston for 7 years. I love teaching math and science and enjoy helping students build confidence in those two areas. When students build confidence, school becomes a place of growth rather than a place of stress and anxiety. Prior to teaching, I spent four years in the Army after college and while spending a year in Afghanistan, I realized my life's work was going to be in education. In my free time, I enjoy hiking the mountains of my home state, New Hampshire as well as camping and reading.

We are the STEM SHARKS.  Do you have a favorite shark?

English Language Arts (ELA) and Social Studies

I teach fifth grade ELA and Social Studies. This is my sixth year at the STEM Academy. My goals this year are to have all students feel successful, put forth their best effort in all they do and develop (or continue) a love for reading! When I am not teaching you can find me spending time with my family and friends, reading a good book, or relaxing at the lake in New Hampshire.
