I LOVE my job! Teaching is a second career for me. I started out with a Bachelor's Degree in Communication with a minor in Psychology. I hated the jobs I had in the business world. After my children were old enough to be home without me, I went back to school and earned my Master's Degree in Education. I have also completed my sixth year as a classroom specialist. I have taught grades 1, 2, 3 and 5 in Milford Schools. I feel so lucky to go to school each day. My students and staff friends are my second family!

The following quotation credited to Socrates sums up my teaching philosophy:
"Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel". I strive to meet the diverse needs of each student while covering all the important curriculum. Whenever possible, I incorporate student interests to enhance learning. During our year long adventure together we will learn a lot and laugh a lot as well!
