I currently work at BB&N, a prep school in Cambridge, MA. Before that I taught math at the Loomis Chaffee School, a coed boarding school, in Windsor Connecticut for three years. I chose teaching because I wanted to be active and I liked working with kids. Other than that, I really had no formal training in education or in a classroom. I was thrown into the classroom here and I love what I do. I look forward to going to work each day because I am literally changing lives. It is very different than the life I would have had if I went down the finance route like I did in my off terms.
