This is my tenth year at Claypit Hill School, and my ninth as a first grade teacher. Previously, I was a special education teacher's assistant in the fourth grade. I've also worked with the fifth grade Student Council for several years. I graduated from Providence College, where I majored in Elementary and Special Education and minored in Spanish. While at Providence College I was able to teach in classrooms and special education settings from Kindergarten through 6th Grade.  I also completed my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction through Lesley University. I love learning and implementing new ideas in the classroom. In my free time, I love to run, bike, and spend time with my family and friends. This fall, I'll be coaching the Wayland JV girls soccer team as well. First grade is an amazing year filled with so much growth. I look forward to embarking on this learning journey together!
