Philosophy

All students deserve a safe and supported space to thrive and feel confident to learn without fear of judgment. My classroom is that space that encourages growth, reinforces respect, allows for creative expression and is always open for students to feel supported through their years in and out of my instruction.


Family

I am the lucky mother of two sons Chase and Cohen. My husband, also a teacher, and I live with them in Chester County and love to be outside being active together as a family. My husband assists me with my seasonal business that I have owned since 2006 in Avalon, NJ.
