As a real-life Ms. Frizzle, my passion has always been to guide others to embrace their curiosity, explore new possibilities, and see the world with a sense of wonder. I have had the privilege to teach all ages, from preschoolers to professionals, over the past 25 years and currently lead a STEAM-based engineering program where children are encouraged to take risks, build confidence, and dream big!

Creativity isn’t just for kids! I enjoy leading adult writing groups and workshops that encourage self-expression and storytelling. My own writing has been featured on ScaryMommy.com and in the North Salem Post.

When I’m not teaching or writing, you can find me hiking the trails just north of New York City, traveling off the beaten path (thanks to the “avoid highways” feature on my GPS), or hunting for treasures at local bookstores—especially those with messy shelves.

I live in North Salem, NY, with my husband, and occasionally our two grown children when they return home for a helping of Mom’s delicious tomato sauce.
