More About Me:

Howdy!  I am excited to enter my third year at the Medford Area Middle School after having taught at the high school for the previous four and a half.  I have earned my Masters of Arts and Masters of Science in Education from the University of Saint Mary's, and the University of Wisconsin Stout.  I am currently in my internship year as a school psychologist.  

I enjoy spending my time kayaking, hunting, hiking, fishing, wood working, cycling and exploring the great out doors with wife, family, and friends.

More About Me: 

Hello! I am entering my 10th year of working for the Medford Area Public School District; time flies when you are having fun! I started my career at MAPS as a special education teacher for the early elementary grades. Following being a special education teacher, I did a year stint as a kindergarten classroom teacher. For the last two years I worked as a diagnostic program support teacher; during this time, I took classes at the University of Wisconsin-Stout that would lead to a certification in school psychology. I am currently in my internship year as a school psychologist. 

I enjoy spending time with my husband and two little girls; playing volleyball, and enjoying the company of my extended family and good friends.

More about me:

Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year!  This is my 10th year working in the Medford Area Public Schools.  I previously taught second grade in Boston, MA, was a resource teacher in Namibia with Peace Corps, and taught Adult Basic Education at Northcentral Technical College prior to teaching special education at MASH. I earned my Master of Arts in Education from Saint Mary's University in 2013 and my Master of Science in Education from University of Wisconsin - Stout in 2019.  This is my internship year as a school psychologist. 

I was raised in Medford, graduated from MASH, and am thrilled to be back in the Medford community working in the school district.  I enjoy time with my family and dear friends, our hobby farm, outdoor activities, gourmet cooking, and traveling.
