Ms. Pickett has just returned from five years of teaching in England, where she is in the final stages of completing her Phd in American Studies at the University of Hull. Prior to joining the faculty at Winchendon, she also taught at the Cardigan Mountain School, from which a number of Wapiti have hailed over the years. When not teaching, Ms. Pickett enjoys skiing, being with family, traveling, attending live music shows…and at one time she coached and played a bit of street hockey.
