My Life as an Educator
I knew from a very early age that I wanted to be a teacher. I started my formal teacher training at the University of Maine at Orono, where I received my undergraduate degree in 1994. While at the University I enjoyed working at Chapel Road Preschool during the school year and Upward Bound during the summer. Since that time I have earned my M.Ed. from Antioch New England.
After graduation, I accepted my first official teaching job at Phippsburg Elementary School where I taught fifth and sixth-grade math and science. In 1995, I got married and moved to the Mount Washington Valley where I started my career with the Conway School District. I have since worked as a math teacher at Kennett Middle School and as a classroom teacher at both Conway Elementary and Pine Tree School. I am currently the Library Media Specialist at Pine Tree School. The best part of my job is that I get to work with all the incredible students and staff at Pine Tree School!
My years at Pine Tree have been very rewarding. I have been fortunate to teach with dedicated and talented educators. I have also gotten to know hundreds of incredible children and their families. I look forward to many more years of working with the children of MWV and instilling in them a love of learning, self-confidence, and the skills they need to lead a fulfilling life.

My Life Outside School
When I am not at school I love spending time with my family. I have two grown children who are both alumni of Pine Tree School and Kennett High School! As a family, we love to travel and explore new places. We also enjoy playing board games; our current favorite is Ticket to Ride!
I love to read! I am especially fond of sharing good books with kids of all ages.
I also enjoy movies and binge-watching old sitcoms. I love to go for long walks, especially on the beach!
