I have been in education for 15 years. I taught English in China for 5 years, then moved to Singapore to teach privately for a few years, and most recently have been at the neighborhood elementary school with my daughter for the past 4 years.  I thrive on change and challenges and am excited to be at Hawthorn Academy. At home I have a husband, a 10 year old daughter, a 15 year old son, and the cutest golden doodle.
