Springfield, MA. 01103
I enjoyed a long teaching career as an English Language Arts teacher at Westfield High School. Highlights of my professional development include National Board Certification in 2000 the Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program in 2002.
Long devoted to PBS programming and educational resources, I joined WGBY Public Television in 2009 to become its PBS TeacherLine Coordinator. Now Education Programs Coordinator, I'm fortunate to engage with children, families and educators to help create innovative learning environments with PBS Ready to Learn resources. I've spent my life in education and know the importance of powerful learning resources and inspiring professional development. Please ask me how PBS supports students and educators in lifelong learning.
