Mrs. Sommers

I grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and attended Drexel University where I earned a B.S. in Foods and Nutrition.  I became a Registered Dietitian and worked in healthcare food service management.  As a Corporate Dietitian, I travelled throughout the country and taught employees how to computerize their food service operations.  After 10 years in Connecticut, where I earned a Master's degree in Public Health, my husband Joe and I relocated to Stratham, NH so he could start a software company.  Our son, Joey, was born shortly afterwards.  In 2005, I earned my K-8 teaching credential and in 2009 obtained my certification as a Family and Consumer Sciences teacher.  My educational background and career experiences have enabled me to play exciting roles in the development of our Life Skills Foods Curriculum, our comprehensive health education program, and our school Wellness Team.  I am passionate about technology and want to do everything I can to leverage it for educational purposes.
