What a wonderful teacher! Fearless, determined, and upbeat. Broadly interested in contemporary literature as well as the classics. She will help and protect her students with stamina and dignity.

My path to teaching

After graduating magna cum laude from Boston University with a BA in English Literature and Linguistics, I completed my Master’s in English in 2009. My studies focused on the 20th-century American novel and postcolonial literature.

From 2010 to 2018, I taught writing courses in Phillips Exeter Academy’s pre-college program for grades 7 through 12. My teaching embraces Exeter’s world-famous Harkness method, which encourages students and teachers to learn collaboratively through open inquiry.

My teaching is also influenced by the Montessori philosophy of self-directed learning. I am deeply inspired by my parents — gifted teachers who taught me how to invest in every student as an individual.

Born in New Hampshire, I currently live in Boston. I’m obsessed with detective novels, purple, and dogs of all sizes.

Our son speaks constantly of the impact you’ve had on him. In the past year, we’ve watched him grow into a confident writer, excelling in his 4 AP courses! Thank you, Jane!
