Emily Auerswald
Emily received an AB from Dartmouth College and an MS from Simmons College. Having attended independent schools for a number of years, she thought that this would be a great place to form her career and has since worked at boarding and day schools in New Hampshire and Baltimore before moving to Annapolis. Emily has been at ICS for four years and has really enjoyed building the collection in the Upper School library. She works with both students and faculty to support the curriculum (and pleasure reading, too!) with a combination of print and electronic resources.

Deborah Fowler
Throughout my 13 years of teaching in the state of Maryland, I have committed myself to guiding students through their early stages of social and intellectual development. My goal is to excite children’s curiosity and enthusiasm about acquiring knowledge and skills necessary to live a productive and rewarding life. I believe in recognizing the individuality of each student, the wide variation in abilities to learn, as well as unique learning styles. I received my Bachelor's of Science degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Maryland and a Master's in Teaching and Leadership from the College of Notre Dame in Baltimore, Maryland. While there I completed an internship in School Administration, along with a concentration in Special Education and Differentiated Instruction.

Like all McCormicks (four of us) at ICS, I'm from Pittsburgh and am bound to its sports teams, but also to the family that remains there. When asked when we'll be coming "home," I can only reply to them that Indian Creek is a family member too. Every day I am surrounded by students I love and co-workers I admire. In my ten years here, I've taught English and literature to 6th, 7th, 8th, 11th, and 12th graders; I've coached middle school and varsity soccer; I've directed and built sets for fifteen plays and musicals; and I'll have earned my Masters in Liberal Arts from Johns Hopkins (2011).

I am a graduate of the University of Maryland (Fear the Turtle!) and have been teaching for over 30 years, 29 of which have been at Indian Creek. I taught special needs students in Prince George's County before I came to Indian Creek and taught math and, for few years, science.
I love teaching math, and especially algebra, because it is challenging for students at first. Once they meet that challenge and succeed, they feel so good because they know that they have really accomplished something. They learn a lot of life lessons through math class. I like to make some of my presentations goofy, because the goofier it is, the better Middle School students learn it. We have a slope dance for learning about the slope of a line, the mailman property to teach the distributive property, and several vocabulary words that only make sense to Indian Creek students. It's the way the Middle School mind works, but in the end, they know their math.
I am the one who always seems to find the injured or orphaned animal or it finds me. I love nature, wildlife, tracking, and gardening. You might have noticed the water lilies that I put in the pond at school.

I graduated from Syracuse University in 1982 with a degree in music. I performed and traveled with various singing groups extensively throughout the U.S. from 1982-1992. I taught private lessons for 10 years, both piano and voice and was music director of the Chesapeake Music Hall Dinner Theatre in Annapolis from 1996-2005. I have recorded two CD's and entertain often for various groups and private functions. I love working with children and teach a theatre camp through the Kids in College program at AACC and work with the Children's Theatre of Annapolis whenever I can. Music has always been the driving force in my live and I hope I can bring my love and enthusiasm for music to Indian Creek School and inspire the students to appreciate music as much as I do.

Estibalis Uribe
Hola! This is my fifth year teaching Spanish at Indian Creek School and working with an amazing group of children. I was born and raised in Mexico, where I was a language teacher for over ten years before moving to Maryland. I graduated from a TESOL program and transferred my love of teaching to teaching my own language and Hispanic culture. I strive to expose learners to different opportunities to work with the language and give each one of them an opportunity to shine and be confident, in a constant effort to develop fluency and appreciation of different languages and cultures.

My BS in Art Education (K-12) was earned at Southern CT State College (now a University) in New Haven, CT. Knowing that I was going for a teaching certificate, I took "one of everything" I could in Art while there but concentrated in metal working and jewelry creating. I have been a salesperson, assistant manager, waitress, assistant to another jeweler, gold and silversmith, and now, owner of my own jewelry/fused/stained glass business in my copious free time after teaching days at Indian Creek! As we work in paint, clay, pastels, glass, metals and other media, I wouldn't give up seeing the "Ah, Ha!" moments of my students for anything! The great pride they have in creating something wonderful is "priceless."
