BA in Music, State University of New York at Purchase,2003
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.
