Grew up on the shoreline in CT after my dad retired from the Navy. Knew early on that I wanted to be a teacher...loved reading and helping others. Attended SCSU and Wesleyan and then eventually back at SCSU for administrative certification. Accepted into summer fellowship at UCONN for the CT. Writing Project and became a teacher consultant to create professional development workshops for school districts. Eventually became a Co-Director for the CWP. Assistant Principal in New Haven for eight years and then principal for the CT Technical High School System for seven years. When not working with ARC and playing pickleball, I am passionate about spending time with my grandkids, being in VT. and beginning to write a memoir.
Favorite Part About the ARC Program:
Working with educators again and supporting new teachers. Meeting the ARC administration in person as well as the instructors during Faculty Work Week was a highlight.

Born in Guantanmo Bay, Cuba! My dad was in the Navy :)
