About.

I’ve been in education for more than 30 years. I grew up all over the United States, moving 15 times and attending 10 public schools before I went to college. By training and experience, I think about transitions all the time. High school can be hard. I hope to bring a level of attention and assistance to teachers and freshmen in my building as well as those with whom I interact through blogs, conferences, and professional interactions.

Below are links to examples of my work:
