Grade 6-9 Special Education Teacher

After growing up in the Hudson Valley, I have spent my adult life in Ithaca. For the last 15 years, I’ve been deeply rooted in our community’s public education as an educator, parent, advocate, and volunteer, always with an explicit focus on access, equity, and inclusion for students of all identities. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my three children, Emma, Owen, and Savannah, reading, playing piano, cooking, playing board and card games, and hanging out with my two very fluffy cats, Rosie and Cosmo.
