Joyce Archer I grew up in Central Florida where I graduated with an Associate of Science Degree in Computer Aided Drafting and Design. I moved to New Hampshire 15 years ago and continued my education by receiving my Associate's Degree in Child Development and opened a Home Daycare that I owned and operated for eight years. Following that time, I was Lead Teacher at a private school where I worked with Pre-K and Kindergarten children. I was a foster parent for four years, during which time I adopted four amazing children. I went back to school in 2021 and am pursuing a dual major Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and Special Needs Education. I am also an Education Advocate for children in foster care, a leader with the Windham Academy Girl Scouts Troop and a Wolf Den Leader Cub Scouts. I started as a substitute at Windham Academy during the 2021-2022 school year, and I am looking forward to continuing my role this academic year!

Chris Rodrigues I love to learn and to teach STEM. I cannot wait to share my love of learning with all of you! My career started by working in a school setting supporting students and teachers in their technology needs. I then spent 12 years working with technology. I finally found my passion for teaching STEM. I love to create interesting and engaging STEM projects and teach through hands-on experiential learning. I look forward to an amazing year at Windham Academy!

Hannah Paradis I always knew I wanted to work in childcare. I got a job at 16 years old at the Manchester YMCA. From there, I transferred to the Londonderry location. I am extremely fortunate for the opportunities the Y has given me because it led me to Windham Academy. Last school year I became the site director of the YMCA’s after school program right here at Windham Academy. I will continue to be the site director this school year for the Y at Windham Academy. I am also continuing my education at Manchester Community College, majoring in Teacher Education so I can become a teacher. I grew up in Londonderry and have stayed local to the area. When I’m not at Windham Academy, you can find me on the Saco River in Maine. I enjoy sitting by the river, reading, swimming, and exploring nature. I am looking forward to this school year!

Angela Vousboukis I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Anna Maria College, where I double majored in middle-secondary education and history. After graduating, I taught for five years in Massachusetts. My favorite thing to teach students in English Language Arts (ELA) is reading and writing. I enjoy novel units and preparing students for the future by strengthening their writing skills. In social studies, I like to teach students the history of our country and why it’s one of the best in the world. I also love being involved with extracurriculars. In the past, I have coached softball and cheerleading. I also like clubs, such as a craft club or a debate club. When I’m not teaching, I like to spend time with my fiancé and our puppy, Louise. I enjoy weekend trips around New England, reading and hanging out by the pool.

Lyndsey England “Promise me you'll always remember that you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.” This is one of my favorite quotes and mantras by author A.A. Milne in Winnie-the-Pooh. It is a reminder to myself and my students to continuously challenge yourself, keep an open mind, and strive to learn something new every day. ​ My goal is to help foster my students’ natural curiosity of the world around them and encourage them to always stay learning. The guiding principles of my classroom are teamwork, creativity, inclusivity and respect. It is important that my students know mistakes are always welcome as part of the learning process, and there is not only one way to find a solution or answer to a problem. Through inquiry and project-based learning, students will practice collaborating with each other as part of a team. I look forward to working with my students to create a collaborative, inclusive, kind and supportive classroom environment. I graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration: Marketing and Management from the University of New Hampshire. Since then, I found my passion and path in educating our youth. I have always had a love of teaching before I realized it was my true calling. I have worked as a caregiver, a K-5 Special Ed. Paraprofessional in Derry, and most recently, as a family nanny for a two-year-old. I have also taken professional education courses at New Hampshire Technical Institute- NHTI and observed educators at an elementary school in Amherst, NH as part of my courses. I grew up in Londonderry, NH and currently live in Manchester, NH. I like to paint, read, and spend summers with my family at Newfound Lake. ​ I am excited to meet my students and families this upcoming year, and to be a part of such a wonderful community of students, families, leaders, and educators!

Victoria Mirabito Community is a value that is very important in my life, especially in my classroom. It is necessary to create an environment where our students can come to school every day in a safe, positive space to learn and grow. As a teacher, my aim is to help students feel welcomed in an inclusive environment that will be conducive to their best learning and success. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education (K-6) from Saint Anselm College. I completed my Master’s Degree in Teacher Education and Moderate Disabilities (PreK-8) at Merrimack College. As part of earning my Master’s, I completed a year-long fellowship in a Language Based Classroom at a school in Lynnfield, MA. I learned so much and am eager to bring all this knowledge with me into the classroom. I currently live in Tewksbury, MA with my family, and our two dogs, King James and Oscar. When outside the classroom, I love spending time with my friends and family, being outdoors, listening to music, and going to Cape Cod. I am looking forward to starting the school year and working with the students, families, and staff of Windham Academy!
