About Me!

Hello and welcome to my website. Thanks for stopping by!

This is my 17th year teaching.  I have spent my entire career working with struggling learners as a Special Education teacher and as an ELA Interventionist.  Being able to help kids become confident, successful readers and writers is important to me.  I take my job very seriously.  I feel like all children have the ability to become readers and writers no matter where they are in their journey or what obstacles they may have in their way. I am truly grateful to be able to do what I do each and every day!
​
I received both my Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from Le Moyne College in Syracuse.  I am professionally certified to teach Elementary and Special Education for students in Grades 1-6. Currently, I am also in the midst of a new learning journey, working towards my School Building Leadership Certificate through Niagara University.  I look forward to using all of my coursework & my years of teaching experience to support teachers and students in a future leadership role.  

I live in Madison County with my husband and our two children.  On the weekends, I like to spend quality time with my family.  We are definitely an outdoorsy family!  We love hiking, kayaking, and traveling.  Our favorite Wintertime activities are sledding, snowshoeing and cross country skiing.  Our favorite Summertime activities are definitely being near the ocean!

Besides teaching, I also enjoy baking,  gardening, yard work, reading, and photography.  I love chocolate, camping, being in the woods, and sunny days. I hate bees, scary movies, big cities and mustard. ​

My professional interests include learning about, promoting, and supporting teachers in aligning curriculum and instruction with The Science of Reading.  Check out my website on The Science of Reading here.
