All About Me

 Middle School is so much fun to teach.  I love the energy.  I love the enthusiasm.  I love watching the "lightbulb" go off when a student "gets it."   I wouldn't want any other job in the world.  I even wrote "music teacher" as my future career in my sixth grade yearbook.
I am starting year THIRTY of being a music teacher.   WOW!!!  I have been at Stimson for 26 of those years.  While I teach orchestra now, I have also taught chorus.   I majored in piano  and  love to sing.  I have been in a professional jazz combo and did a LOT of theater before I had children.   
When I'm not at school, I hang out with my husband and my two sons.  One son has a job in the Sports Media field and is a graduate of  Sacred Heart University in Connecticut.  My other son is in 10th Grade, plays the trombone  and is on the  Golf, Tennis and Winter  Track teams.   My family and I love to take long walks, play games, travel, shop, hit the driving range and play with our five-year-old Golden Retriever, Barkley.
