As an educator at a small, progressive private school, I wear
                many hats! Luckily, my background and professional experience
                allow me to integrate a wide variety of disciplines into the
                different subjects I teach. 
                
                While obtaining a Bachelor's Degree in Music from SUNY Purchase,
                I co-founded both The Wayfinder
                  Experience, a theater-arts-based summer program for teens,
                and The
                  Adventure Game, an educational non-profit that provides
                interactive arts-in-education programming to schools throughout
                the northeast. It was through this process of facilitating
                programs for hundreds of young people that I fell in love with
                teaching, and subsequently became a New York State Certified
                Music Educator. 
                
                As with many of my peers, technology was an integral part of my
                everyday life since I was old enough to flip a power switch!
                From the moment I programmed my first screensaver in QBASIC, I
                was hooked on the idea that computers can be used to create
                content rather than just consume it. I've had the opportunity to
                deepen my technological skills throughout my experiences as a
                small business owner, executive director, classroom teacher and
                professional development facilitator.
                
                I'm currently working at High
                  Meadow School in Stone Ridge, NY, teaching 7th and 8th
                grade Humanities, and 3rd through 8th grade Music, as well as
                supporting both staff and students in the use of educational
                technology.
