“After free-lancing as a trainer and interpreter for the last few years, I find myself missing working in the education realm. However, I have enjoyed the flexible schedule that allowed me to focus on being a mom, integrate myself into my kids, school and local community.”

“After four transformative years getting to know my inner athlete by doing triathlons and other fitness feats, I am opening a practice as a fitness trainer, coach and consultant. I am holding a triathlon clinic in July for folks considering doing their first triathlon or taking on their next one with greater gusto. Hello to my fellow MA Ed alums!:

“I spent five years in mainstream middle school just after I graduated. Since then I have worked in a multitude of alternative education settings. The most recent has been this very small, very alternative high school learning center on Capitol Hill. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my profession thus far. I also went on to obtain my master’s degree mental health counseling and am currently working on my Ph.D. degree in depth psychology.”
