  I was born in Princeton, NJ while my dad was working for Bell Labs. He is a physicist. We travelled some. I'm not sure how my parents did two extended trips to Switzerland with four young kids, but they did. The majority of my school age years were spent in Rhode Island.

I did my undergraduate work at Brown University where I majored in Mathematics. I took a lot of Physics and Geology, so after a 1 year teaching job I headed off to Seattle, Washington for graduate school. I earned a Master of Science degree in Geophysics and went back to teaching at the high school level. Somewhere along the way, I met my husband and had two wonderful children.

I've always taught at private schools, sometimes math and physics, sometimes just math. Mostly I have taught high school classes, but I do have some middle school experience. Here are the schools where I have taught.
