Something Unique: I used to dream of being an Egyptologist when I was a kid, and I still hope to travel to Egypt some day to explore the pyramids and the surrounding area.

Dream: I would love to backpack through Latin and South America at some point in the future…and maybe move abroad as well!

My Proudest Moment: when I crossed the finish line at my first marathon last year in Hartford!

Challenge: taking a vacation! I do really well when I’m busy, but I have a hard time taking a break sometimes…

A Perfect Day: spending time with friends and family, reading, watching a movie, etc.

My First Job: Museum staff at the Science Discovery Museum in Acton, MA

An Indulgence: peanut butter M&Ms!

My Favorite Movie: probably the A&E/BBC version of Pride & Prejudice

My Favorite Song: No Holly for Miss Quinn by Enya

Life is: exciting and full of adventures!

Early in the morning you may find me: enjoying a cup of coffee and an english muffin while doing some last minute lesson planning!

Only at Hyde: do students work with teachers to help get their peers on track academically.
