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.
