A daughter of 2 teachers and educated in the public school system in Roslyn, NY. I have an Undergraduate degree in Art Education and a Masters degree in Special Education, both from the University of Florida. I started teaching full time while I was working on my Masters degree. I have taught visual arts to students in grades k-12. 

I have also worked in a variety of out of school time programs. I have spent numerous summers working as a Residential Life Coordinator and Group Leader with Duke University’s Talent Identification Program. I also worked in Somerville expanding the Middle Grades After School program.

Currently, I work as the Chief of Staff in a non-profit that works to get teachers engaged in educational policy.
