| What is your previous experience?
I earned my PhD from the University of Delaware. I was an Assistant Professor at Rosemont College and, most recently, the English Department Chair and Teacher at The Baldwin School. What about the upcoming year at Gwynedd excites you the most?
Learning all of Gwynedd's traditions, Mercy Mester, watching the Monarch Meadow bloom, walking through art classes and science labs, and listening to English and Social Studies debates...I could go on! Do you have anything you'd like to share with our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade prospective students?
Gwynedd's balance of liveliness and academic rigor can't be beat — and the rumors about the incredible cookies are true! |
