ALL ABOUT ME!

I'm so excited to be teaching fourth grade at Cherry Hill School!  In my teaching past I've taught second, third, fifth, Basic Skills and Gifted and Talented students. I earned a master's degree in Reading Specialization from Kean University. I also graduated from West Chester University in Pennsylvania with a degree in Elementary Education.  This is my 20th year teaching elementary students. In April 2024, Mrs Heitman announced my name for Cherry Hill School's Teacher Of The Year for 2024-2025! My entire class screamed with happiness! I love my job!  :)

My husband and I have two amazing children, Shawn and Elizabeth. Shawn graduated from the University Of Rhode Island as a mechanical engineering major. He is now working for a company that builds submarines! Such a cool job! Shawn needs to remember to wear his hard construction hat to work each day to protect his head as submarines are not made for tall people! 

My daughter Elizabeth recently graduated from the University Of Rhode Island as a marketing major. Elizabeth danced for URI's Club Dance Team. She has been dancing since she was two and a half. Through hard work and balancing dancing and academics, Elizabeth became a beautiful dancer as she earned very good grades! 

Dakota is my one and a half year old crazy Golden Retriever who keeps us on our toes. She loves treats, ice cubes and apple slices. Dakota enjoys playing ball in the backyard and going on walks around the neighborhood too!

In my spare time I love to read mystery books while sitting under an umbrella on the beach watching my children ride their boogie boards in the ocean. I'm a big New Jersey Devils, Yankees, Giants and Knicks fan! My favorite children's author is Chris Van Allsburg.

I look forward to meeting you and anticipate a fun and exciting year learning new things!
