I have been a biology teacher at Goffstown Area High School since 1989.  I graduated in 1970 from Merrimack College in North Andover, Massachusetts with a BA in biology.  I taught for three years at a private Catholic girl's school, Keith Hall.

In 1973 I gave birth to my daughter, Jayme.  From then until my younger daughter Beth was in second grade I was a full time homemaker.  My husband, John, the girls, our Pekinese Skul-Lee and I live in a small town just north of the Massachusetts border in Windham, New Hampshire.

In 1986 I started graduate studies at Rivier College in Nashua, NH.  I recieved my Master's degree in biology in May of 1990.

At Goffstown High School I am the coordinator of our marine biology floating lab.  I am a coach for our Ocean Bowl Team and for four years I was the class advisor for the class of 1998.  I serve on the District's Science Curriculum Committee and our Staff Development Commitee.

I was a Teacher-Scholar with the Wright Center at Tufts University in March of 1996.  I have presented the interdisciplinary  geometry/biology project with my teacher-partner, Paul Stanley, at both the NH regional and the National Mathematics Teachers Conventions.

I have presented an original genetics lesson, " Breeding Yoccums for Fun and Genetic Understanding"  at the NSTA convention in LasVegas in 1998.

A lesson plan that I developed was published in an EPA publication for Middle School teachers.  "Grief on the Reef" was part of a compilation of lesson plans designed to help educate students about the Coral Reefs.

During the summer of 1999 I participated in the Woodrow Wilson Biology Institute...and learned to construct this, my first web page!
