As a former student of the Boston Public School system, I am proud to have the opportunity to teach our inner-city kids as I once was. I have earned a bachelor's in English and a master's degree in Education at the University of Massachusetts Boston. In the summers I enjoy working for ESY and as a side job, I work with Greater Boston ABA Associates, an at-home clinical service for children who are on the autism spectrum. “Selfless giving is the art of living.”– Frederic Lenz

I have been at TechBoston since 2009 when the middle school was added. I have been teaching for a really long time and love working with young people; they keep me on my toes and keep me young. TechBoston is an amazing school to be at because it is a place where everyone feels cared for, is a member of a positive community, and can reach their potential and be celebrated for their success!
I am excited to join TBA for my 12th year teaching. I have done middle school English and history for most of my career. When I am not teaching I love cooking, watching old sitcoms, and hanging out with my family. My favorite book is called "Polly's Ghost" by Abby Frucht closely followed by the comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes".
