April was born and raised on a dairy farm in rural Vermont. She earned a degree in history with a minor in education from Middlebury College.  She completed her student teaching with the National Teacher of the Year at Middlebury Union High School. She worked for three years teaching middle school social studies in Montpelier, Vermont. In 2011, she received the James Madison Memorial Foundation Fellowship, awarded to one teacher from every state, which funded her graduate study at the University of Southern California. While at USC, she worked with the football team as an Assistant Learning Specialist and as an Education Technology Research Assistant with the Shoah Foundation.

After completing her Master of Arts in Teaching, she taught 7th and 8th grade history for three years at a progressive private school in Pasadena, CA.  Professionally, she especially enjoys building relationships with kids, collaborating with colleagues, designing creative projects, and integrating technology into the classroom.  Personally, her favorite things to do are to travel, host dinner parties, ski, camp, hike, and meet new people.  She's very excited to be a part of the warm Maple Community.
