I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from St. Michael's College. I then went on to complete my Master's Degree in Education from Cambridge College while being a mom of 3. This is my 19th year at Center School and I love being a Cardinal! Before I became a teacher at Center I was a parent and the PTO President. I love Center School and am so proud to be a teacher here and to be a member of this community!

I have 3 children who all went to Center School too! They are now college age and working adults. We know how important Center School was to their education.

I love to do yoga and am trained as a Youth and Adult Yoga& Mindfulnes teacher. I founded Mindful Movers Yoga and so love offering Mindfulness and Movement classes to both students and teachers here in Longmeadow.

I love the ocean and to spend time at Cape Cod. In my free time I go for walks in all types of weather, cook, read, play games, do puzzles, and spend time with my family. I have 2 mini-Australian Shepherds named Willow and Moon, and a cat named Nauset. You will hear all about them and their mischievous behavior this year:) I am also a proud Miami Dolphins fan, yes in Patriot's territory:) !
