Hewitt Faculty

I have been an educator for over 30 years, and I have spent the majority of my career at Hewitt. This school has a supportive community that makes students, families, and teachers feel valued and understood. 

One of the most rewarding aspects of teaching Spanish is helping students grasp a new language and seeing them realize that they can communicate in a way that was previously impossible.

Spanish is the gateway to a vast world of culture, including art, music, film, and literature. The desire to experience this rich, diverse culture firsthand is a powerful motivator for both teachers and learners.

When I’m not teaching, you can find me deepening my understanding of Spanish-speaking cultures through travel, cooking, singing, dancing, reading, and writing poetry. These hobbies and passions introduce me to new, engaging, and authentic materials I can share with my students. 

After a decade working in college admissions, I chose to work at Hewitt so that I could connect with and support high school students on their journey to college. 

Applying to college is a big, emotional, and potentially stressful decision, and I want to lift students up and celebrate their many achievements at Hewitt and beyond as they take this important next step in their education. 

I love working with juniors and seniors on their college applications. I am inspired by their resilience and hard work throughout the process, and by their joyful celebrations when they decide where they will go to college.

There is so much to love about teaching lower school students! They are incredibly capable young people who lead rich conversations, solve complex math problems, and design and author graphic novels. They also love stickers, dancing, and their teachers. It's the best!

As a literacy specialist, I have the privilege of helping children become skilled and joyful readers and writers. Supporting teachers as they hone their practices is also incredibly rewarding. 

When I’m not at work, I spend my time reading, reading, and more reading! I also spend a lot of time with my toddler and like to play with my poodle.

When I’m not teaching, I enjoy speaking French and traveling and enriching my awareness of the wider world. I also enjoy yoga, which keeps me grounded and grateful for all the wonderful things in life.

I have been teaching for 15 years. I choose to work at Hewitt because it is a place where I can collaborate with coworkers and students, explore and implement new ways of teaching, and think about how my work as an educator connects to the wider worlds of mathematics education. 

One of my favorite things about teaching is supporting students as they explore their own mathematical thinking and sense-making. Seeing the evolution of a student’s mathematical reasoning is an impressive and poignant experience.

When I’m not teaching, you can find me learning languages (including Spanish and Chinese), reading and writing about mathematics education, and playing my original word game, FiddleBrix! 

Something you may not know about me is that I have studied mathematics education in China as a Fulbright Fellow and in the Philippines through a Fulbright Distinguished Award in Short-term Teaching. 

I have been an educator for over a decade. I choose to work at Hewitt because I believe in our school’s mission to inspire girls and young women to become game changers and ethical leaders. 

Something I love about the Hewitt community is how the students, families, faculty, and staff show their school spirit by attending events and games. 

One of my favorite things about teaching upper school, and ninth grade in particular, is helping students get acclimated to the rigors of being in high school. 

I was drawn to teach mathematics because I've always loved math and I want to change the way students learn and think about the subject. 

Something you may not know about me is that I was a two sport athlete in college and took a West African dance class to improve my balance and coordination. When I’m not teaching math, you can find me coaching Hewitt’s varsity squash team! 

I have been an educator for more than 20 years. Before coming to Hewitt I taught at Spence and Chapin, and I've never grown tired of being at a school devoted to the education of girls and young women. 

Something I love about the Hewitt community is how warm and supportive it is. Teachers here really help one another and collaborate to develop curriculum and activities for the students.

I teach English because it was a subject I loved as a student. Once I started teaching middle school English, I was hooked on the fun and energy of that age group. The students come to school brimming with ideas about the reading and excited to share their thoughts.

Something you may not know about me is that I used to sing in choirs and do theater in graduate school. I bring my love of theater to teaching Shakespeare to the eighth graders at Hewitt!
