About Me....

I am excited to be teaching fourth grade this year at Manchester Memorial Elementary School (MMES). Prior to this year, I taught fifth grade for 10 years and first grade for 2 years.  A certified elementary education teacher, I hold a Bachelor's of Arts and Science from Boston College and a Masters of Education from Endicott College, so I guess you could say I am an EAGLE and a GULL!   I am a Massachusetts professionally certified teacher with licenses in 1-6 Elementary Education and Early Childhood (PK-2) education.  I am super organized and look forward to helping fourth graders develop an array of executive functioning skills.  It's also one of my goals to inspire my students to love school as much as I do.  I consider parent/caregivers my partners and I know the value of forming strong relationships with families.  

In my previous life prior to working in education, I worked in advertising for a large Boston firm and as an event planner for Marriott Hotels.  I have four children ages 27, 24, 22 and 20.

These are a few of my favorite things...reading I Survived books, country music, playing Scrabble, collecting sea-glass, peonies, chocolate pecan pie, pedicures, and anything to do with Hawaii or Italy!  

I am a kid at heart, and I love including music and silly games in the classroom.  I'm thrilled to be teaching alongside Mrs. Papagni in fourth grade this year and I look forward to learning all about your favorite things!
