I have taught at Merton Primary School for 12 years. During my career at Merton, I was fortunate to have taught in first, third and fourth grade. I really enjoy this age group and love seeing them take on the responsibility of role models now that they are the oldest students in our building.  I look forward to the many learning experiences we will share together.    

Teaching Philosophy

    I believe in fostering an independent environment for students in my classroom and nurturing a strong sense of community.  I believe in developing a feeling of family within our classroom from the very start.  I hold my students to very high standards and expect them to take accountability for their academics as they prepare to move next door to the middle school the following year.

  I love being an educator and think that the support Merton teachers receive from the parents is unmatched by any other district.  I feel fortunate to work in Merton and be a part of this incredible community.
