About The Teacher
2011-2012 marks my 10th year as an English/Language Arts teacher at King Philip and it is very exciting to be back, starting a new school year! My undergraduate degree is from the University of Rhode Island and I hold a master's degree from Boston University. Before becoming an educator, I was a clinical audiologist and also hosted a radio talk-show in Rhode Island. I am married with two sons, one of whom is an MBA graduate student at Bryant University as well as a partner of a web design company based in Rhode Island. Our oldest son, Dr. Osborne, heads up a research lab at Columbia University and lives in New Jersey with his wife and 1-year old daughter, Oona. My family and I are ski + snowboard fans and winter weekends will find us on the Vermont slopes. I recently discovered zip-lining...and although it challenges my reluctance of heights, it is exhilarating and fun! During the summer months, I can be found at the beaches of Narragansett and Charlestown R.I., where I enjoy kayaking, biking, watching my son play beach volleyball, listening to jazz, perfecting the ultimate clam cake, and basking in the sun with a good novel. My passion is cooking ~ and we often entertain family and friends with culinary creations and good conversation! I am the Drama Advisor for the KPMS Drama Club. Did you see Annie Jr. last spring? This year, our drama club will celebrate live theater with another great musical! For all those interested in theater, acting, props, or costumes, this is a fun club to join! Be sure to listen for the announcements or see me for more information.
