About me

This is my 15th year teaching Spanish here at NMS!

I grew up in the South (Chesapeake, Virginia, to be exact!) with my loving parents and brother, who have all since followed me up North, and I am very grateful for them...Family is number 1!

I have loved learning about the Spanish language since I started taking it in the 8th grade. Teaching is my passion; constantly improving my teaching is my job :)

Becoming a mother has given me great perspective and, I believe, has helped improve my teaching. Lia, 6 (going on 16), began first grade this year! Tessa, 5 (the wild child, always entertaining), and my hard-working husband are my world.

In my free time, I love to be outside, run/exercise/yoga, garden, and spend time with my family and cat, Cosmo (the grey one), and until recently, Maestro (the orange one), who we lost 4 years ago :( :( I also have a background in teaching hip-hop dance for 10+ years!

I also am a co-adviser to the NMS Drama Club as Choreographer! See you at auditions!
