What I do
I am a co-owner of Common Roots Studio in Biddeford, where I teach music lessons and provide artistic opportunities in the community. I enjoy staying active, traveling, working with other musicians, writing music, and spending time with close family and friends.
I have been teaching at OOBHS since 2016. I teach remedial English and science courses, and co-teach with the high school English department. I strongly encourage students to explore all opportunities, develop a growth mindset, and keep moving forward, as one instance can change a life. I am also a part of the OOBHS Track and Field coaching staff.
I grew up in central Maine, and attended the University of Maine, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Performance. I later attended the University of Southern Maine where I earned a Master’s Degree in Education. Prior to OOBHS, I taught at Biddeford High School for 2 years, and was a co-advisor for the class of 2019.
