 I am excited to start my fourth year teaching social studies at the International School of Sosua.   I taught Social Studies for two years at Glenwood Springs High School in Colorado and spent one year with the special needs division of Aspen High School.  I have also taught ESL in Southeast Asia.  During the summer I return to Colorado and manage an adult skills program for men with Autism.    I teach because I love working with students and believe in the importance of having a positive school experience
I also volunteer with the Cabarate boys program called INSPIRE DR. My PBL also works with this wonderful nonprofit. 
In my 3 years at Cabarete I have learned how to kitesurf and I love it.  
I plan on getting married to my fiance in the spring. 

​Please contact me at any time if you have any concerns, questions, or ideas to share.
