I am looking forward to getting back into the classroom 5 days a week! This year is still going to be a little different than our "normal" school year, but we will do our best to make it a positive & memorable one!

Since you will be entrusting me with your most precious possessions, I think that it is important for you to get to know a little bit about me! I received me BA from St. Joseph's University in 2008, and my MA from Stony Brook University in 2010. This will be my 14th year teaching, and my 9th year teaching at Longwood. Before working at Longwood, I taught in Three Village and worked with students in grades K-6, in both general and special education classroom settings. This will be my 8th year teaching 6th grade at the middle school. Three years ago, I taught 4th grade at Ridge Elementary School. In addition to teaching, I am also a lifelong student! I'm always taking professional development classes to learn new techniques and strategies to use in the classroom.

My husband and I have a three year old, Brody, and Yorkie named Althea. We are all part of the Longwood community!

I think it is so important to get to know my students, their interests, and their families, so please feel free to contact me and share any information that you think will help me. I can't wait for the great year we have ahead of us!
