About Me!

She/Her/Hers

I was born in Newton and graduated from Newton North in 1984 (do the math!) I studied Physical Education and Exercise Science at UMass Boston and then received a Master's of Science in Exercise Science and Biomechanics at UMass Amherst. I loved sports and competed in soccer, gymnastics, softball, ski team and swimming and diving in high school. I also worked at Newton North and Gath Pool as a lifeguard and swimming instructor which is where I learned to love teaching! I'm married to my husband Sean and have three grown children who all went to the same Newton schools as I did, Horace Mann, Day Middle School and Newton North. When I'm not teaching you can find me out on the lacrosse field where I work as a referee. I also love to cook vegetarian and vegan meals and do handcrafts like sewing and knitting. I love working at Bigelow and the staff and teachers here are some of my very best friends!
