I received my PhD in Modern European History from UCSC in 1998. My dissertation examined the records of the Soviet Revolutionary Tribunals during the Civil War period (1917-1921) of Russian history. For the last 18 years, I have taught at an all girls independent school. I am an avid scuba diver (having once earned my keep as a Dive Master) and lived and worked abroad. Having lived and worked in schools in Germany and Russia, I have seen first hand the ways in which information and access to it defines cultural acclimation and literacy.
