Description
Hello Friends! My name is Brigit and I live in Woodstock, NY! I love where I live and can't wait to share all of my educational and life experiences with my students. I have been an educator at various levels for over 25 years. I also served as a principal, Director of Humanities K-12 and a consultant. My favorite book of all time is Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire. I have been a Potter head since the beginning:) My absolute favorite thing to do is to discuss literature with my students. I am currenly seeking a doctorate degree in Educational Policy and Leadership and am a life-long learner. Can't wait to see you in my class!
