Welcome to Mansfield Middle School. I have been a middle school special education teacher since 2002. Before becoming a teacher, I obtained a social work degree from Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY with a special interest in adults and children with developmental disabilities. I have been an assistant manager and a live-in manager of a group home for adolescents and adults with significant developmental disabilities. While working as a teaching assistant at The Gengras Center in West Hartford, I earned my Master's Degree in special education from Saint Joseph College (now University) in West Hartford. I am passionate about helping children of all abilities learn and grow and become as independent as possible in all areas of their lives.
