Faculty

I joined Merrimack in 2011 as director of the bachelor’s degree completion program in child, family and community studies. In this role, I review and develop curricula based on current developments and trends in the program, advise students and mentor adjunct faculty who teach in the program.

In addition to these responsibilities, I am actively involved in many professional endeavors. I provide teacher training in Antigua, West Indies; work as a STEM and early-childhood consultant for Greater Lawrence Community Action Council Head Start; and present nationally and internationally on various topics in child and family development; leadership and administration; and early teaching and learning in language literacy, social studies and STEM. 

I am professor emerita at Rivier University, were I served in the roles of director of the graduate and undergraduate early-childhood education programs, department chair, and coordinator of teacher-preparation program re-accreditation.
