I have been with the Jamestown School District since 1998.  I have taught kindergarten, first grade and second grade.  During the summer LEAP program, I taught students in first grade through fourth grade.

I strive to make my classroom a safe space for my students to play, learn and grow!  I use music, dance, and entertaining literature to help my kindergarten students learn.

When I am not in the classroom, I love to spend time with my family mining for Herkimer Diamonds, hiking, and playing games.  I also enjoy reading, sewing and playing the keyboard. 

I have been married to my husband, Pat, for 30 years.  Together we have 3 daughters, Alex, Emily and Jacqueline and a son, Liam.  Our family is expanding, as our son is engaged and our daughter, Emily is expecting in February!

I am looking forward to another school year full of laughter and learning!
