Let me tell you a little about myself.  

 

 

 

 

I am from Lower Alloways Creek and have lived there all of my life.  I attended LAC School and Salem High School.  I went to college at Rider University in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, where I majored in elementary education and history.  Right after graduation I started working at Mannington School as a teacher's aide.

I spent 3 years as an aide, working in 1st, 2nd, and 4th grades.  That was such a great experience and I learned so much from the teachers that I worked with.

I started teaching first grade in 1998.  I taught first grade for 8 years.  Since then, I've taught 4th grade and 4th and 5th grade Math and Science.  This school year, 2022-2023, will be my third year of teaching 3rd and 4th grades, Math and Science.

On a personal note, I am married and have two sons.  I love animals and have a cat, a dog,  and ducks and chickens.   I enjoy spending time with my family.  Some of our favorite activities including traveling, boating, and having camp fires. I'm also a HUGE Disney fan.  

 

Teaching is my passion.  I love learning new "stuff" that I can bring into the classroom to share with my students.  My students teach me so much, too!
