TEACHERS

I have been an educator for 18 years, teaching a variety of grade levels and subjects, including 3rd Grade, 2nd Grade Resource Room, 8th Grade LLD Math, and In-Class Support for 8th Grade Social Studies. Currently, I teach 7th and 8th Grade LLD English Language Arts and Science, and I’m thrilled to be part of the Dover community in my first year here. Passionate about literacy, I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Literacy Instruction and will graduate in the Summer of 2025.

Beyond the classroom, I am a Health and Wellness Coach, blending my love for movement, mindfulness, and overall well-being into my daily life. I find joy in dancing, practicing yoga, spending time outdoors, cooking, reading, and traveling to new places. Summer and the beach are my happy places, where I recharge and find inspiration. Teaching is more than just a profession for me—it’s a way to empower students and help them grow both academically and personally.

I have taught in the Dover School District for the past 25 years. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and am a certified Special Education Teacher of the Handicapped, serving students from K-12 in all subjects. I have also completed professional development courses in the Orton-Gillingham program, a multisensory, structured, and systematic approach to teaching reading and spelling. I currently teach 7th and 8th grade LLD math and co-teach in  Science.

I have been an EMT for 11 years, serving my community. I enjoy cooking and baking in my free time because it brings joy to the people I love..

I have been a special education teacher for over 20 years, teaching in a self-contained setting. I am certified to teach Special Education and Elementary K-8. I hold a Master's Degree in Special Education with a focus on Learning Disabilities. I believe in a personalized, collaborative, and inclusive approach to learning, focusing on individual student needs and creating a supportive learning environment.

In my free time, I enjoy attending my kids' sporting events, skiing, and spending the summer in Lake George, NY.
