Morning and Afternoon Teacher

She lives in Duxbury with her husband, son (SHS alum ’20), and their assortment of animal and plant companions. Before having a young child, herself, Naomi was an avid traveler and visited/lived in at least 40 states in the US and 16 countries. She loves spending time in nature, in different cultures, and most especially – with young children.
