What is your favorite thing about working at Friends Academy? I love the kind community, our All-School Meetings, community performers, collaboration between teachers, and how students and teachers are able to shine in their own way.
What do you love to do outside of school? Play bass in jazz groups, chess, garden, cook, and fish.
Fun Fact: I was invited to present research on student creativity at the National Association for Music Education conference in D.C. I used to teach a digital music production class at the University of Delaware. I stared a ukulele club at the NCCL school in Newark, Delaware.
