    What is your role at CH-CH?
    Math Teacher

    What about our students inspires you?  
    Ever since I started at CH-CH in 2006 our students have inspired me with the support and empathy they show for each other on a daily basis, both in class and around campus. Despite the typical drama that accompanies any high school experience, students at CH-CH develop and share a sense of community that allows them to form supportive relationships. Every year I work with math students who have had negative experiences in at least one math class when they were younger. They recognize their shared experience and are consistently quick to step up and assist each other when they see a classmate struggling. I have also witnessed this extend into social situations - they all know how tough and complicated life is as a teenager and it is inspiring when they demonstrate their emotional intelligence in their personal interactions.

    How do you get to know your students best? 
    Since math is seldom a student's favorite subject, I understand when they would rather talk about something else. When the topic is clearly close to their heart, I allow time to engage with them, ask them questions, and let them realize I actually care about them as a person, not just a math student.

    What is your role at CH-CH?
    As one of the school nurses here at CH-CH, I help keep our community safe and healthy. I interact with students daily whether that be to help with physical health concerns or to just talk about their days. As a member of CH-CH’s Health Team, I also assist our lead school nurse, the athletic trainer, and the counseling department with student wellness.

    What led to your career at CH-CH?
    After my first summer working as one of the Camp Nurses at Running Brook Day Camp, I was brought on to be one of the School Nurses at CH-CH. I have really enjoyed being able to put my nursing skills to use in a new way in this setting. It is very fulfilling to watch the students learn and grow throughout the year.

    What activities do you enjoy outside of CH-CH?Outside of CH-CH, I enjoy reading, going for walks around my neighborhood, traveling, and continuing to explore Boston as I am originally from Minnesota. Traveling has always been a big part of my life, most recently last spring I drove down the coast of California and over the summer went to Switzerland and France!

    What is your role at CH-CH?
    SAS Teacher and 10th Grade Dean

    What about our students inspires you?  
    Every student here has a story. I am inspired by their endurance resiliency. It is a joy everyday to work with this body of students and watch them grow into themselves and build a community together! 

    What led to your career at CH-CH? 
    I got the chance to work at a Therapeutic school which showed me how much I loved working with small classes and a diverse population. I quit that job for the opportunity to be the director of the Leadership Training Program, at Running Brook Day camp here on the Chapel-Hill Chauncy-Hall campus. I fell in love with the community here and was excited to transition into the Skills and Academic Success team for the school year!

    What is your role at CH-CH?
    I am currently the Assistant Head of School here at CH-CH which means that all aspects of a student’s life here at CH-CH, academic, residential, or co-curricular, come under my purview. In my 16 years here, I have taught English, World Civilizations, SAS, lived in both boys’ and girls’ dormitories, coached multiple sports...in short, a little bit of everything...and I think that has prepared me well for this role.
     
    What led to your career at CH-CH?
    Through most of high school and into college I worked at a variety of fast food restaurants...Arby’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, and McDonald’s to be specific. It was here that I got the first inklings of what I would later see crystalized in Gardner’s MI theory. I met adults in all these places who were really good with people, great trainers, funny, excellent with their hands, smart, and with good work ethics...but who had not gone to college, or in some cases even finished high school, and now worked full time in the fast-food industry. How does this happen? How can someone able to effectively train a teenager and handle a grease fire not finish high school? How can someone able to manage a team through three busloads of tourists, two indecisive senior citizens, and a failing walk-in cooler not have a college degree? I began to think that maybe it wasn’t them...maybe schools weren’t wired up the right way. I now work at a school that sees every student’s gifts and find ways for them to reach their potential; CH-CH is a place that is wired for student success.
     
    What activities do you enjoy outside of CH-CH?
    When I’m not at CH-CH, I drive my children to various activities (Irish dance, soccer, and basketball), play basketball myself, and try to find time to take my wife to dinner.
