I have been teaching at Sweetsir for over 20 years, including 8 years in the Integrated Preschool. I have my Master’s in Special Education and certifications in Early Childhood and Special Education. Some of my favorite preschool activities include sharing my favorite stories with the class, building projects, and movement activities with various materials such as parachutes, scarves and beanbags. Outside of school, I enjoy hiking and traveling to new places.

Coming soon!

I have been teaching for 10 years with 5 in the Integrated Preschool. I have my Master’s in Special Education and a degree in Elementary Education.  I am a mom of 3 and have fostered 6 children ranging in age 14 months to 16 years. My favorite part of preschool is creating a classroom community where the children feel safe enough to develop independence and a love of learning. If I am not at one of my kid’s field hockey, softball, or soccer games I love being at home with my family which includes the dog, cats, and chickens. I enjoy having a cup of tea, reading, or working out in my yard. 

Coming soon!

This is my first year teaching at Sweetsir and I couldn't be happier to join this wonderful community! I bring seven years of experience teaching integrated preschool, along with a Master's Degree in Inclusive Early Childhood Education from James Madison University in Virginia. My absolute favorite parts of the preschool day are morning circle—where we gather to connect, share, and start our morning on a bright note—and storytime! Outside the classroom, I love to bake, read, and go on walks with my dog, Toby.
