About Me
It's hard to believe as I write this, but I've been teaching for over 20 years. I'm licensed as both an English/Language Arts teacher and Reading Specialist. I've taught 6th - 8th grade English/ELA, and more recently I have been teaching Reading to middle school students.
I LOVE to read. Shocker, I know. I didn't always, though. In fact, it took me awhile to love reading and become "a reader." I hope to support all of you on your reading journeys, wherever you may be.
I love Cape Cod, the beach, and the ocean. Check out the boat I found there! (That's my first name ;)
I have a dog, Maisie. She's a four year-old Havanese who is afraid of most things and barks a little more than she should. We love her anyway (I mean we all have flaws, yes?). And, she's super cute. Obvs.
I also love spending time with my family exploring the outdoors. We've been fortunate to have a lot of outdoor adventures together. Pictured here are my husband, three children, and sister in Alaska in the summer of 2021.
