Hello! I am so excited to be part of the kindergarten team at Allen Brook School. Kindergarten is such a special time in a child's life when they begin to recognize themselves as learners. I hope to provide your child with a space where they feel safe and encouraged to take risks as they begin their journey at school. We will explore with lots of hands-on experiences, time outdoors, play, and activities designed to be developmentally appropriate, impactful, and fun!
I have been with the Champlain Valley School District since 2015. I began my career at Hinesburg Community School as a math and literacy interventionist before becoming a classroom teacher. I taught third grade for several years before transitioning to kindergarten. My passion for foundational literacy instruction drove me to change grade levels. As a teacher, I derive immense joy teaching children the building blocks of reading, writing, and math. There is something incredibly special about watching the "a-ha" moment when things fall into place!
At home, I am mother to three young children. My middle child will be starting kindergarten this year, so I know what it's like to be in your shoes! As a family, we spend lots of time outside taking walks, biking, and swimming in Malletts Bay. Originally from Massachusetts, I moved to Vermont with my husband, who is a native Vermonter, to raise our family in this beautiful environment. I am hoping to learn to ski so that I can enjoy winter as much as I enjoy the other three seasons!
