SBS SOLUTIONS 4 LEARNING
"Successful people are simply those with successful habits.”

TEACHING AND COACHING EXPERIENCE
I have over 15 years of teaching experience at some of the top private schools in the tri-state area. My teaching career began in 2006 when I served as a teaching assistant at Greenwich Academy in 1st and 4th grades. While there, I gained great experience while also earning my masters degree. After two years at Greenwich Academy, I was ready for my own classroom and secured a head teaching position at Rye Country Day School, one of the top K-12 coed independent schools in the nation. At RCDS, I held a few different positions: 4th grade lead teacher, 6th grade history teacher, assistant soccer coach, and middle school leadership program director. In 2019, my family and I moved north to Fairfield, CT and with that move, I began my time at Fairfield Country Day School. At FCDS, I spent four years as a 4th grade teacher. To allow for more flexibility and time with my five children, I recently retired at FCDS and am now focused solely on developing SBS Solutions for Learning.
EDUCATION
I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Duke University in 2001. After two years in the sports marketing industry, I went back to school to switch careers and earn my Masters of Arts in Teaching from Manhattanville College.
AWARDS AND ACCOLADES
At Duke University, I was a member and 4-year starter on the Women’s Varsity Soccer Team. As a teacher, I have been recognized for my hard work and drive for success. Some awards and accolades I have achieved include a fellowship at the Institute for Innovative Teaching and Learning, the Excellence in Teaching and Coaching Award, and the Priscilla Liebman Award, all during my time at Rye Country Day School.
