My Bio
I am a mathematics professor at Curry College, where I teach future teachers and manage a federally funded research project on teaching and learning statistics. I know what colleges are expecting from our graduates. I'm a mom of a fourth grader in a Stoughton elementary school, so I have first-hand knowledge of the issues parents face. I was a math teacher at a Boston Public High School and with nonprofit programs throughout the area and abroad, so I know how hard out teachers and staff work for our students. As a homeowner, I understand the tension between giving our students everything they need for success and managing expenses for multiple needs.
My Key Issues
High Quality Education for All Students
Students have diverse needs, and we have a duty to provide for all students so that they can reach their full potential. They are the future of our town.
Leveraging Partnerships
Through my work at Curry College, we have brought Stoughton elementary school students to campus to work with our education majors. Our Stoughton students get to explore a college campus, meet college students, and imagine themselves going to college. Our education majors get real practice working with kids around STEAM content. More partnerships like this can enhance opportunities for our students while keeping costs low.
Long Term Solutions
Financial stability means considering the long-term costs, not just the cost for the next year. This is why I organized with others for a new elementary school - in the long run it is more cost effective for the town. A long-run vision needs to be taken when we consider all of our infrastructure, from buses to curriculum.
