All About Me

Hi,

I lived most of my life in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. After college I moved to Georgia and started teaching. I taught for 3 years and then moved back to Poughkeepsie, because I missed the change of seasons. I started teaching Home Economics in Hyde Park in 1980 at F.D. Roosevelt High School. In 2000, I started teaching LAWS at Haviland, and have been here ever since.

I am married to an Adjunct Professor at Marist College and we have 2 sons. Christopher lives nearby and works in Rhinebeck. He is a Marine and has served in Iraq and the Pacific Ocean. He graduated from Marist and studied Criminal Justice. Cameron works in Albany and is going to college part time. We have 2 dogs, a black lab mix, (Bella), and a plought-hound (Marvin).

In my free time, I like to cook, sew, stamp, shop and ride ATV's.

I look forward to spending time with you this school year.
