After 38 years of teaching middle school Bible, history, geography and leadership, I added both a DC and New York City tour guide license to my credentials.  Additionally, I have completed Trip School destination training in DC, New York and Boston, and in the SW National parks,  earned a Tour Guide Certification, and have enjoyed a season of leading student tours for World Strides in DC, NY and Boston. 

Those experiences, enhanced by 22 years of taking my own 8th grade students to DC, the historic triangle, and beyond, have enriched my bag of tools and strategies that keep both students and adults engaged and interacting with the locations of our nation’s past, present and future. I enjoy watching historic and cultural sites come alive for students and adults alike as they realize that they are part of something bigger than themselves, and see with fresh eyes that they too can make a difference.

Digging in deep or skimming the surface, I will collaborate with you to create your adventure.  It is important that we communicate before and during your trip so we can be sure it meets your expectations.  I am excited to meet you and help everyone on the trip have the experience of a lifetime!
