Hi! I’m Meryl.

“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”

-William Butler Yeats

I love teaching and working one-on-one with kids. Their creativity, perspective, and inquisitive nature make every day different and rewarding.

I’m an elementary school teacher in the Mount Desert Island Regional School System, with 18 years of experience across a range of grade levels. I specialize in meeting students where they are, helping them set achievable goals, and creating personalized lessons that build skills and confidence.

I hold a Master’s in Elementary Education from Vanderbilt University and a B.A. in French & Francophone Studies from Vassar College.
