Jay and I have been living in Downeast Maine since 1974. I am a teacher; Jay has been retired from teaching since 2016. During my career I have taught K-1 for 13 years, Grade 2 for 26 years, and Title I Reading for 4 years. Prior to moving to Maine I taught deaf children in Prince George's County, Maryland.
Besides teaching I have been very involved in local Teachers' Association politics. I have been president of our local Association for many terms and am now the grievance chairperson. Additionally, I train mentors for our school district, match beginning teachers to mentors, and coordinate the mentoring and teacher certification program for the school district.
