Hello! I am one of the special education teachers at Genet. This year I will be working with Mrs. McHugh in kindergarten and with Mrs. Yakel in 4th grade. This will be my 22nd year working at Genet. I am so excited to meet all of the new students and families that I will be working with this year! In addition to working in kindergarten and 4th grade, I have worked in 1st, 2nd, and 5th grades in the past as well. I have also taught a self-contained Language Concepts class for students in grades 3-5 for many years. My husband and I have 17 year old twin boys named Thomas and William. They will be seniors this year! We also have a 4 year old yellow lab named Cooper. We love going to Cape Cod together in the summer and spending time in Lake George. This past summer, we have enjoyed spending lots of time by our pool, visiting with family and friends, and going to concerts. I enjoy most kinds of music but country music is my favorite. In my free time I enjoy taking Cooper to local parks and trails, reading, baking, crafting, and spending time with my family.
