She taught elementary school for 16 years, including a gifted program in New York City for a decade. Her favorite additional accreditation is her Chess in Education graduate certificate from The University of Texas at Dallas, which provided the justification to connect her lessons to chess at every opportunity, and to flood her classroom with the game, much to the delight and academic success of her students.
