Welcome to my classroom! I am excited to work with students and families throughout the school year --- my eighth at Readington Middle School! My goal is to create a positive learning environment where students feel supported, challenged, and confident in their ability to succeed in mathematics. I believe that strong relationships, consistent effort, and a growth mindset are key ingredients for success both in and out of the classroom.

Outside the Classroom

When I'm not teaching, I enjoy coaching youth sports, reading, hiking, spending time with my family, creating content for my wellness company, Your One Self, and cheering on my children's activities and teams.

Education is the great equalizer and success maker! I believe every student is capable of growth and success. Research shows that young brains continue to develop through practice, perseverance, and meaningful learning experiences. I maintain high expectations for all students while encouraging them to embrace challenges, learn from mistakes, and take pride in their progress.

My classroom is built on respect, accountability, and effort. Students are encouraged to think independently, persevere through challenges, and develop confidence as problem solvers. I also believe that strong communication and collaboration between students, families, and teachers are essential to helping every child reach their full potential.
