I have enjoyed over 20 years of teaching and administration experience in K-12, post-secondary, and business settings. I grew up in Northern Michigan (Charlevoix) so I have a keen appreciation for outdoor activities, natural beauty, and friendly folks. Beaver Island has it all; therefore, I jumped at the chance to work and play in this magical place! I teach middle and high school English Language Arts, Performing Arts, and Communications courses and love every minute of it! I am also the advisor for our BICS Nordic Ski Club.

My favorite activities are working on my fiction book, reading, directing and acting in radio and stage dramas, skate-skiing and cross-country skiing for the Nordic Ski Racer team, downhill skiing, snowshoeing, running, biking (mountain and road bike), swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, gardening, traveling, and cooking. I have participated in over 20 triathlons and the Marine Corp Marathon. I hope to continue my training on the island to someday compete in an Ironman triathlon! My personal motto is “To do less is to live less!” and my professional motto is “Better teaching, more learning!”
