Bridget brings unbridled enthusiasm for learning and a deep reverence for the natural world along with fifteen years of classroom experience. Her diverse teaching background encompasses urban public schools in Baltimore and Los Angeles, Waldorf education, charter schools, as well as a year abroad in rural Japanese middle schools. Prior to earning her B.A. in Education and subsequently pursuing her M.A. Ed., she has also enjoyed successful careers in radiography, print advertising, and a brief stint in the US Army Medical Corps. The thread that binds all of these experiences is a love of community, a desire to be of service, and the importance of personal relationships.
