My Profile

I have been a 6th grade social studies teacher at Norton Middle School for 15 years. I am passionate about this subject! Our world is so interesting and I love to teach and continue to learn about it! My husband, Ken, and I have 2 children, a 35 year old son, Zachary, and a 32 year old daughter, Nicole. I love to read and enjoy discussing books at book groups. A favorite place for me is near the ocean! Often, I can be found at the beach with my toes in the sand relaxing to the sounds of the waves or on my boat in Narragansett Bay. I also enjoy hiking on nature trails.

I have been lucky enough to do quite a bit of world travel. It has been awesome to experience the sites and cultures of other countries!! My travels have taken me to Mexico, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, United Kingdom (England & Scotland), Iceland, Costa Rica, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Beligium, and the Netherlands.
