In 1976, I was an eighth grader at South Valley Middle School in Gilcrest, Colorado.  That year, I think that I felt like many of my current students;  I was excited to be in eighth grade but ready to move on to high school and beyond.  I had a strong sense that I would end up in New England.  Happily, Vermont has been my home since 1984.

     I love history, travel, music` and literature.  I have  Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in history from the University of Vermont, and I've been fortunate enough to visit parts of Europe, Australia and Asia.  As a participant in the Japan Exchange Teaching Program, I spent two years in Sendai, Japan as an ESL educator, working in Japanese public schools.  I currently live in Burlington with my husband, Jerry, son, Andrew, and two gerbils, Lala and Moomoo.
