I have been practicing education in one form or another for the past twenty-eight years, teaching everything from nursery school children to graduate level students. Fourteen years of my career were spent in elementary school classrooms – both private and public – as a regular classroom teacher and then as an Enrichment Coordinator. I was a school administrator for eleven years, at both public and private schools. We lived in Northern Vermont for fifteen years and in addition to my “day jobs,” I also worked as an adjunct instructor and student teacher supervisor for Johnson State College and UVM, and as a gifted education consultant to the VT State Department of Education. My Master’s Degree is in Gifted Education and the focus of my research was on answering the question: Can creativity be taught? My Doctorate is in Teacher Education and School Improvement and my dissertation was a case study exploring "The Phenomenon of Underachievement: Listening to the Voice of a Twice Exceptional Adolescent."
