All About Me

I love working with children and I always have! My first jobs included babysitting and working as a ski instructor for over ten years at Wachusett Mountain (mostly with children).

Since gaining my undergraduate degree, I have been working in the Wachusett Regional School District for about nineteen and a half years: first as an instructional aide at Mountview Middle School in 1996, then as an instructional aide at Dawson Elementary School in 1997. While looking for a teaching position, I was unable to find a classroom position in our district. In 1998 I decided to move to Colorado where I found work as an elementary school teacher in an urban school district.

After gaining valuable classroom teaching experience, I heard about a grade three teaching job opening at Dawson. I applied, and was offered the position. In September of 2000 I moved back home to teach in the district, and have stayed ever since.

In September of 2014 my role changed from a classroom teacher to an English Language Learner teacher. After so many years in the classroom, I have enjoyed adapting to the changes and challenges of this role while working with small groups of students from ages five to twelve.

While working as a teacher I have also continued to be a learner. I have attained two masters degrees; one in Elementary Education with a concentration in reading and a second masters degree in Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).

I love coming to work everyday, and I really enjoy working with children!

I hope you find this site useful.
