I am a passionate leader and teacher from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who came to Tallinn 14 years ago to start a new adventure, and along the way, found a new home.
My Qualifications & Experience
While this is my first year as Director of Tallinn European School, this is my 9th year as part of our wonderful community. I began my career at TES as an Art and English L2 teacher before becoming a Primary class teacher.

During the 2021-2022 academic year, I held the role of Deputy Director for Nursery and Primary.
I earned my masters in Teaching English as a Foreign Language from Tallinn University and a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Film Making from Point Park University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
I have also completed leadership training through Develop Design and have certificates in Leading Schools and Leading People through Harvard Graduate School of Education online.
