I graduated from Boston College and stayed another year to get my masters degree. While I am certified to teach Elementary Education, my early passion was teaching Special Needs students (certified PreK-12). Following college, I headed to Hawaii to teach in a Special Needs Classroom on the North Shore of Oahu. When my school year in Hawaii ended, I returned to Boston to look for a teaching position and to work at Beaver Summer Programs.

I loved every moment of my summer at Beaver! It combined my two great loves: kids and warm weather. My Special Needs degree helped me navigate through any group social issues and the campus could not have been more beautiful. I thought Beaver Summer Programs was just the best. I worked as a special needs teach in Andover for a few years, spending summers at Beaver before being offered the position as the Assistant Director. I have been at Beaver for the past 11 summers and I am looking forward to summer 2012.

When I am not at camp, I am playing with my daughter, running, and spending time at the beach on Cape Cod.
